SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION
As the children of our Parish continue their preparation to receive First Holy Communion, the Sacrament of Reconciliation took place for Cullen National School last Thursday and it will take place for the National Schools in Millstreet this week. Pope Francis reminds us that the words “Please”, “Thank you” and “Sorry” are easier to say than mean. This Lent let us lead by example and mean these simple words when we say them.
