A Solemn High Mass was celebrated at 9.30am in St Anthony\u2019s Church.  At this Mass nine children of the parish received their First Communion.  They had been prepared for the Sacraments of First Confession and First Communion by Sister Mary Rose, O.P. and by Miss Philomena Ockerse, one of the postulants.  The First Communicants behaved beautifully throughout the Mass and Procession, which was a long one with three Benedictions, at the home of Gerard and Antonia Gregory, at the Croquet Club, and back at the Church.  After the religious part of the ceremony the children had a celebratory brunch with the priests and their immediate family.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bp1.blogger.com\/_IbPOz5dvLAI\/RyVYaT_NkTI\/AAAAAAAAADo\/pv5Dg5UIPAs\/s1600-h\/Mass2.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/bp1.blogger.com\/_IbPOz5dvLAI\/RyVYaT_NkTI\/AAAAAAAAADo\/pv5Dg5UIPAs\/s400\/Mass2.JPG\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5126600959896424754\" border=\"0\"><\/a><br \/>\nSolemn High Mass<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bp2.blogger.com\/_IbPOz5dvLAI\/RyVYVj_NkRI\/AAAAAAAAADY\/r5tcehNZ23w\/s1600-h\/comm.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/bp2.blogger.com\/_IbPOz5dvLAI\/RyVYVj_NkRI\/AAAAAAAAADY\/r5tcehNZ23w\/s400\/comm.JPG\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5126600878292046098\" border=\"0\"><\/a><br \/>\nNine children of the parish received their First Communion<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bp1.blogger.com\/_IbPOz5dvLAI\/RyVaxT_NkVI\/AAAAAAAAAD4\/nn40-AnTpl0\/s1600-h\/phil.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/bp1.blogger.com\/_IbPOz5dvLAI\/RyVaxT_NkVI\/AAAAAAAAAD4\/nn40-AnTpl0\/s400\/phil.JPG\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5126603554056671570\" border=\"0\"><\/a><br \/>\nMiss Philomena Ockerse, one of the postulants with the First Communicants<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bp2.blogger.com\/_IbPOz5dvLAI\/RyVaxj_NkWI\/AAAAAAAAAEA\/rB2lVCIJO-c\/s1600-h\/process.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/bp2.blogger.com\/_IbPOz5dvLAI\/RyVaxj_NkWI\/AAAAAAAAAEA\/rB2lVCIJO-c\/s400\/process.JPG\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5126603558351638882\" border=\"0\"><\/a><br \/>\nProcession<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bp3.blogger.com\/_IbPOz5dvLAI\/RyVawz_NkUI\/AAAAAAAAADw\/6UMvBFreRe4\/s1600-h\/party.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/bp3.blogger.com\/_IbPOz5dvLAI\/RyVawz_NkUI\/AAAAAAAAADw\/6UMvBFreRe4\/s400\/party.JPG\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5126603545466736962\" border=\"0\"><\/a><br \/>\nCelebratory Brunch<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunday 29 October 2007: Feast of Christ the King.
