An Chéad Aithrí
Is i Rang a dó a déantar an Chéad Aithrí. Ullmhaíonn na múinteoirí ranga na páistí don saicrimint i rith am scoile in aontaigh le tuismitheoirí agus caomhnóirí . Roinnt seachtainí roimh an Chéad Chomaoineach Naofa, bíonn céiliúradh an Chéad Aithrí againn leis na páistí agus a gcuid tuismitheoirí thíos i seipéal Naomh Mhuire sa bhaile. Bíonn sé i gcónaí go hálainn!
An Chéad Chomaoineach
Arís ullmhaíonn na múinteoirí na páistí i Rang 2 don Chéad Chomaoineach Naofa aontaigh le tuismitheoirí agus caomhnóirí agus Coiste Comaoineach Tuismitheoirí. Bíonn alán ullmhúchán i gceist ach is fiú é mar bíonn na páistí réidh go maith don lá mór i Mí Bealtaine. Is céiliúradh mór clainne agus cairde é Lá an Chéad Chomaoinigh. Tar éis an searmanais, bíonn fáilte roimh chuairteoirí na bpáistí (agus iad féin dar ndóigh!), teacht chun na scoile le haghaidh cóisir beag.

First Confession
The children make their First Confession/Penance in second class. The teachers prepare the children for the sacrament during school hours alongside the work with parents/guardians at home. A few weeks before the First Holy Communion, we celebrate the sacrament of First Penance in St Mary's Church in Lucan. It is always a lovely ceremony!
First Holy Communion
It is the second class teachers who again prepare the children for their First Holy Communion along with parents/guardians and a Parents Communion Committee. There is a lot of preparation involved, but it is important so that the children understand what the sacrament is about and that they are well prepared for it. They normally make their First Communion on a Saturday in May. The day is a day of celebration for family and friends of the children. After the ceremony, all of their visitors (and themselves of course!) are welcome back to the school for a little party.
Confirmation
It's a very spiritual day for Rang a 6 when they are confirmed in February. The class teachers prepare the children for the occasion. Children do some lovely Art and project work in preparation for the Sacrament. The mass takes place in St Mary's Church in Lucan village.
