Do This in Memory
The sacramental preparation of children is the responsibility of the home, school and parish working together in partnership.
Do This in Memory is a programme which complements the school-based work and takes place outside the classroom. It gives parents, children and the parish community the opportunity to prepare for First Holy Communion. It highlights the importance of the Sunday Eucharist and acknowledges the home as the most important and significant place where the faith of our children is nurtured.
