Do This in Memory

This weekend, we have the Enrolment Mass for the First Holy Communion children and their families.  This parish-based programme went very well last year and we look forward to the same this year.  Children and families have a very good experience of welcome and participation.  The presence of the children brings life to our church and we all really welcome that.  Their presence also brings life long memories.  Many of us still recall our own preparations for the sacraments and church visits as children.  We want to give this generation the same positive experience and this parish-based programme gives families a helpful structure for this to happen.

We hope to have the Enrolment Mass for the Confirmation children very soon to give them a good parish experience and St. Michael’s Church at its best.  Fr. Michael
