On Saturday 18th May, 30 children from Scoil Íosa primary school received their First Holy Communion in St. Patrick’s Church, Ballyhaunis. The Mass was celebrated by Fr. Stephen, and was a memorable occasion for all the families involved. Refreshments were served afterwards in the Community Hall, organised by members of the Parish Pastoral Council.
