When does registration open for First Holy Communion classes? My daughter will be making hers next year.
All baptised Catholic children are welcome, regardless of which school they attend.
The classes run on Saturday mornings, I believe.
My son made his last year. It’s a lovely programme.
Do the children need to attend Catholic school or can anyone register?
There will be an information evening for parents – keep an eye on the newsletter.
