Dear Parent/Guardian,
Thank you for considering enrolling your son/daughter in the First Penance/First Holy Communion preparation programme. When you brought your child to the Church to be Baptised you promised to commit to bring them up in the practice of the faith. We invite you now, along with your child, to consider continuing that journey of faith in preparing for the sacrament of the Eucharist.
There will be a welcome and information evening for parents/guardians in due course and an enrolment ceremony for you and your child. Throughout the year, there will also be special Masses of preparation that we will invite you to attend. We look forward to celebrating this important time with you and your family.
Please have the form below completed by the 11th June 2021.
The cost of admission to the Sacramental Preparation programme is €25 per child. This covers the relevant literature and communion candle for the programme. You can pay this via the donate button on the Parish Website -
https://www.rathminesparish.ie/donate-to-the-parish/ OR directly to the parish office
If your child was Baptised outside of the Parish of Rathmines, please note you must provide a copy of their Baptismal cert.
