P.4 First Holy Communicants 2026

10th May 2026

Congratulations to our P.4 First Holy Communicants who celebrated this very special sacrament in St. Patrick's Church, Ballinderry along with the P.4 Pupils from Derrychrin PS.  It was a lovely parish event and Fr Donnelly described it as 'surreptitious'.  Thank you to Mrs Muldoon, Orla, Lynda and Ieva for preparing the children so well and to Mrs Sweeney for working with the P.4 children over the last 6-8 weeks to learn the tin whistle.   A special thank you to Miss Hughes and Mrs Sweeney for leading the choir - the music was beautiful and we really appreciate the P.5/6/7 children coming along to sing.  
Thank you to John Wilson for having the chapel ready for practices and to the Altar society for the stunning arrangements.
Thank you to Philomena McGuckin for working with the P.4 pupils throughout the year using the All God's Children Programme.
Thank you to John O'Neill for coming to take photos on this special occasion for our families. 
We hope you all had a wonderful day making memories - the children looked absolutely stunning and we were so proud of them.  God bless everyone.
