The Catholic Parish of Wellington South’s two churches, St Anne’s and St Francis de Sales, were full on Sunday 17 September, with the 52 children and their families who participated in this year’s Sacramental programme of Reconciliation, Confirmation and Holy Eucharist.

Parish priest Fr Doug Shepherd spoke to the families encouraging them to not let their First Communion be their last.

Thanks to the coordinators Fran Peters and Christine Amundsen for all their hard work preparing the children, to the Liturgy teams, the music groups and to everyone for their prayers and support.
