Welcome and Blessing for First Holy Communion and Confirmation families
It was lovely to see so many families at the Welcome and Blessing Masses on the weekend of the 10th and the 11th of October. If you didn’t get an opportunity to join us and would like to pick up a First Holy Communion and Confirmation memento, please email Lisa at sacramentalceremonies@gkpastoralarea.ie and we can organise for one to be left at your local Church or the Pastoral Area office.
PREP Programmes for Catholic families attending Church of Ireland school, local non-denominational school or is home schooled
To support Catholic families attending schools where there is no Catholic school preparation programme in place the Pastoral Area organises a Parish Religious Education Programme (PREP programme). If your child attends a local Church of Ireland school, local non-denominational school or is home schooled, they and their parent(s)/guardian(s) are requested to attend the PREP Programme. Please click on the First Holy Communion PREP Programme or Confirmation PREP Programme to find out all the details of these programmes.
