Parent/Guardian Information sessions
Please come and meet us at a Parent/Guardian information session on either Sunday 20th or Sunday 27th September at 11.15am after the Family Mass in St. Anthony’s Church, Kilcoole.
At this session it will be explained what will be happening in the Parishes to support families preparing for First Holy Communion and Confirmation.
This is an important and special year in your family’s life as you prepare together to celebrate the next step in your child’s faith life, and your Parish is here to support you.
Join us. We look forward to introducing ourselves and meeting you.
PREP Programmes
The Pastoral Area organises a Parish Religious Education Programme (PREP programme) for Catholic families attending schools where there is no Catholic school preparation programme in place.
If your child attends a local Church of Ireland school, local non-denominational school or is home schooled please click on the First Holy Communion PREP Programme or Confirmation PREP Programme to find out all the details of these programmes.
