PARISHES JOIN FOR FIRST HOLY COMMUNION


At Our Lady of Mercy last Sunday twelve children from this parish and St Anne’s took the most important step in their lives since their baptisms.      To mark the occasion the St Anne’s singers joined ours and the old rafters rang with the concerted choral celebration rising from the crowded choir loft.     The conduct of the children, coached by Cathy, was impeccable as they received Our Lord for  the first time, and Fr Danny made sure that the youngsters will remember this day for many years to come.

It was the most beautiful service -the children looked gorgeous, but more importantly they appeared to be totally delighted at what they were doing. Well done Cathy Pickles! And of course Father Danny's presence made the service personal and cosy but still extraordinary. Pat Choules' cake was indeed almost too pretty to eat; but I still had two slices with extra marzipan.
