Here are some pupils in Ms Carmodys class doing a colourful and exciting experiment.

Well done to all the pupils in 1st2nd class who dressed up so well and were so scary for the dress up for Halloween Day.

Please go over the prayers said during mass. We need to know the Prayer before Communion and the Prayer after Communion off by heart.
 

• Lord I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.

 
 

• Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world: have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world: have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world: grant us peace.

 

• Through him, and with him, and in him, O God almighty Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honour is yours almighty Father Forever and ever.  

 

• Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of hosts, heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest.  Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.

 
 
 
Prayer before Communion.
 
Lord Jesus, come to me.  Lord Jesus give me your love.  Lord Jesus, come to me and give me yourself.
Lord Jesus, friend of children, come to me.  Lord Jesus, you are my Lord and my God.
Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ.  Amen.
 
 
 
 
Prayer after Communion
 
 Lord Jesus I love and adore you.  You’re a special friend to me.
Welcome, Lord Jesus, O welcome.  Thank you for coming to me.
 
Thank you. Lord Jesus, O thank you, for giving yourself to me.
Make me strong to show your love, wherever I may be.
 
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask you to stay, close by me forever and love me I pray.
 
Bless all of us children in your loving care and bring us to heaven to live with you there.
 
I’m ready now, Lord Jesus, to show how much I care. 
I’m ready now to give your love at home and everywhere.

 Dear Parents/Guardians/Pupils,
I hope you are all keeping well and trying to keep busy during this time. I am issuing some further activities for this week. Second Class, I will upload some prayers for you to begin to learn off by heart for your First Holy Communion. As everything is uncertain at the minute, we will communicate with you if there is any news on the Communion but for now, we are going to keep going in the hope that all will be well in the coming weeks.
Please find below a list of possible activities.
Best wishes,
Claire Kenny
