charitable association, is actively encouraging individuals and families who
find themselves in financial difficulties for the first time to avail of its

Society previously.
As the First Holy
Communion season approaches this year, parents are facing yet another costly
bill that they could do without.Teachers
in primary schools all around the county are currently preparing their pupils
for the Sacrament that these seven and eight years old boys and girls will
arguably remember most over all other Sacraments for the rest of their
lives.Over the next few months children
will make their way up the aisle at a cost which is
truly staggering.When the clothes, the
cash gifts, the bouncy castles and the food and drink for their nearest and
dearest are all totted up the nation, collectively, will have little change out
of €80m.
But will they remember
their big day for all the right or wrong reasons?
