Please keep in your prayers the children of Louisburgh and Killeen who should have received their first Holy Communion over the past two Sundays.

Those parents who wish their children to receive first Holy Communion this summer will be facilitated in small family groups, in keeping with physical distancing regulations, at the first of the daily Masses to be celebrated when churches reopen on 20 July.

The option is also available for parents to wait in hope of larger gatherings being allowed later in the year or to wait until next year in the hope of very changed circumstances.
