Sian has chosen to do her First Holy Communion this year with many of her class mates in St Josephs. Tonight she had the first of the sacraments - Reconciliation.
It was a really lovely ceremony, relaxed and positive. The kids wore their normal casual clothes. Sian said a prayer at the alter and then made her first confession in a chair in the open. When she was finished the priest gave her a small candle and I helped her to put it in a dish of sand at the foot of the alter.
She really seemed to enjoy herself and we came home afterwards and had a lovely evening with Anne and Kel. We had a homemade passionfruit cake that Sian had helped make earlier and lots of cups of tea and coffee before she couldn't fight sleep any longer. She fell into bed a short while ago and was asleep before her head hit the pillow!
