Dear
Parents,
Our final
ceremony in the “Do This In Memory” programme will take place on Sunday, 29th
May 2016 at the 12 noon Mass in the St John the Baptist Church. As it is the feast
of Corpus Christi the children who received their First Holy Communion this
year are invited to participate in the procession around the town, wearing
their beautiful Holy Communion clothes.
Before the
final blessing on Sunday at Mass, I will ask the Holy Communion children and
their parents to leave the church to join in the procession. This should help avoid the children getting
caught up in the rush at the end of Mass.
The procession will return to the Church for Benediction. Children will sit in the front rows and
parents can meet their children there at the end of the ceremony.
I hope you
and your family can attend as it is a beautiful occasion and a wonderful way to
complete a very special year.
I look
forward to seeing you.
Yours sincerely,
Fr Robert Young PP
