First Communion 2020
Dear Parents,
Following a meeting between Fr Burns and the three schools in the parish, we are happy to announce a new date for the celebration of First Communion.
The date for Nicker N.S is Saturday, 26th September, 2020 at 11am in St. John the Baptist Church Nicker.
Due to Covid19 restrictions and with due concern for all in our communities, the following have been agreed, and must be adhered to for the Celebration of First Communion.
- Parents and siblings of Communicant are only to be present at the Mass.
- We regret that grandparents and extended family cannot attend due to social distancing and health and safety guidelines.
- A class photo will be taken by a professional photographer on the day, family members are asked not to approach the altar for personal photos.
- All family photos must be taken outside after Mass is over.
- The children will be involved in readings, Prayers of the Faithful and presentation of gifts as normal.
- Music on the day will be provided by a singer/musician. This is also to stay within Health and Safety guidelines for social distancing.
Fr Burns and the teachers will work hard to ensure that the day will be both special and memorable for the children and their families. We look forward to welcoming them back to school and celebrating this special sacrament with you all.
Kind Regards,
Fr Burns Ms Franklin Ms Farrell & Ms Crowe
