Dear Second Class,
The 16th of May 2020 was supposed to be your very special day. You were due to receive the sacrament of First Holy Communion in the Church of St. John the Bapist Nicker, surrounded by your family and close friends. Unfortunately it wasn’t to be, due to the Coronavirus restrictions. We would still like to celebrate both this date and you, our second class children. We would like you to join the staff of Nicker N.S in gathering together the following;
17 pebbles, a plate, a candle
We want you to know we are thinking of you. Each pebble represents a child in second class. Place the pebbles in a circle on a plate around the candle. We would ask you all to then light your special candle on Saturday at 11.30 a.m. and together say your favourite prayer. We will be celebrating this special sacrament together at a future date once it is safe to do so, but in the meantime we would like to come together separately to mark this special day. May God Bless you all and keep you in His care.
If you wish to put a photo of your candle and pebbles, just send it in to the email address for 2nd and 3rd class (nickernsfarrellblackwell@gmail.com) and we can put it on the website.
