🌟 Congratulations to the children of Naul National School who received their First Holy Communion last Friday, 8th May! 🌟

It was a lovely day full of joy and faith. We’re very proud of all the hard work the children put in to prepare for this special occasion.

A big THANK YOU to everyone who helped make the day so memorable:

🙏 To our volunteers - Kim, Dermot, Pam, Helen Andrews, and Alison - for all your support and time given for the preparation Masses.

📚 To Ms. Carney, SNA Sarah, Aishling, and Principal Ms. Henry - for your preparation work in school all year, the Mass booklets and preparing the beautiful art displays in the church etc...

🎶 A special thanks to Valerie and the choir, including the children from the school, for their beautiful singing. It really and truly lifted the ceremony.

🎉 To Annette and Des for their continued support and help in preparing the church as usual, and to the volunteers who helped clean the church before the celebration.

👏 And to the Parents Association and volunteers for the gorgeous celebration prepared at the school afterwards.

Your time and effort are greatly appreciated and doesnt go unnoticed.

We hope the children and their families had a wonderful day of celebration!

Well what can we say! What a fabulous day we had last Friday for our First Holy Communion celebrations. Congratulations to all.

A FEW THANK YOU'S

We'd really like to thank our two parent volunteers this year Majella and Colette. They have been brilliant in ensuring the monthly preparation Masses went so well. Many thanks for the time you gave each month to organise the roles for each of the Masses.

To all those who helped to clean the church in advance of the Sacrament, thank you so much. We don't have a budget for cleaners so everyone getting stuck in and helping us out really ensures the church looked so well for the children's big day. Many thanks to Nora Carolan for organising this.

Richard Wogan, Billy O'Brien, Cormac Donnelly have been great in getting the outside of the church set up with flags, cutting the lawns and ensuring the grounds look so well.

Of course, big thanks as always to Teresa Morgan.

Class teachers Ms Graves and Ms Keogh, SNA's, Jackie and Mr Durkan for their preparation work all year, particularly bringing the children down to Mass bi-weekly, for the beautiful artwork in the church on the day and the work done in house on printing booklets etc....

A massive thank you to the fabulous children of 5th Class who sang so well throughout the ceremony.

Final thank you to the Parents Association and volunteers who had such a gorgeous celebration waiting for everyone in the community centre after the ceremony.

The generosity of time from all the above doesn't go unnoticed and is greatly appreciated.
