Do This in Memory

Second Class is extra special because many of our boys will receive the sacraments of First Penance and First Communion this year.

In preparation for this, we are taking part in a parish program "Do This In Memory". Once every month, we lead a Mass in our parish church,  especially for children taking part in this program. To find out more about the "Do This In Memory" click here.
