On Wednesday, 12th February, children from all 2nd classes made their First Confession with Fr. Flynn, Fr. Banville or Fr. Kehoe.
Father spoke with the children as did Net Ministries. We learned afresh about God’s love and why it is important to ask for His forgiveness for the times we do not live as we should.
The children were then split into groups headed by their team leader from Net Ministries. There, they undertook small group activities while waiting to make their Confession.
A big thank you to the priests and Net Ministries for making the ceremony so meaningful for the children.
Finally, take a look at the children’s lovely art work, completed as part of their preparation for their First Confession.

Miss Kinsella’s 2nd Class were delighted to make their First Confession today! We all spoke to Fr. O’ Neill and completed the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Afterwards, we said our prayers of the Our Father and the Act of Sorrow.
We are sure to be on our best behaviour in the run up to receiving the Sacrament of First Holy Communion!
Second classes were very fortunate to have a Communion Retreat for a whole day!
Nine volunteers have taken a year out from work or study to help prepare children for their First Confession and for their First Holy Communion. Our volunteers came from the Australia, the U.S.A. and Ireland.
The children had a wonderful day packed with teaching about Jesus’ love for us in a fun and meaningful way.
