Many congratulations to all the children in Garristown, Ballyboughal and Naul  who received their First Holy Communion during September 2021.  After a long and patient wait, we were finally able to gather and celebrate this important step on their faith journey.  All the children looked wonderful and we hope that it will be a moment for them to remember and treasure for ever. 

​

This year we were able to livestream some of the ceremonies on our Facebook page.  If you click on the picture it will take you to the relevant video (if the Mass was livestreamed.)

​

We pray that they will continue to be nourished by this special Sacrament

and will continue to grow, as members of our parish communities, as the Body of Christ.

Many congratulations to all the children in Garristown, Ballyboughal and Naul  who received the gifts of the Holy Spirit at their Confirmations during September & October 2021.  This is the final sacrament of initiation - inviting them to take on the responsibilities of full, adult membership of our church community.

All the children looked happy at finally reaching this important moment after such a long wait.

The Body of Christ

Congratulations to all the children in Ballyboughal, Naul and Garristown who received their First Holy Communion during Autumn 2020.  It was wonderful to finally be able to gather for the celebrations which were simple and beautiful.  The children all looked amazing and we hope that it will be a moment for them to remember and treasure for ever. 

We pray that they will continue to be nourished by this special Sacrament and will continue to grow, as members of our parish communities, as the Body of Christ.

Gifted in the Spirit

Many congratulations to all the young people who were recently Confirmed in Ballyboughal and Garristown.  Although these celebrations were delayed due to the lockdown, we were delighted to finally be able to join them and their families for this important Sacrament.  We wish them every blessing.
