Children from Ard Rí CNS who received the Sacrament of Communion last year

Sacramental Preparation for pupils at Ard Rí Community NS is provided through St Mary’s Parish Catechetical Programme. The programme takes place after school and is facilitated by parish volunteers, co-ordinated by Fr Sebi. Fr Sebi has asked us to circulate an application form for pupils preparing for Communion and Confirmation. Children start their preparation for Communion in 2nd Class.

There will be a meeting held before the end of the month with classes starting in October. Dates are to be confirmed shortly.

You can access the form below and we are making hard copies available through the office. Please fill in the form and return it to us. We will then deliver them to Fr Sebi directly.
