| After communion all the children would have breakfast
in our school in Queen Street. They would then go home before
coming back to the church for the parade in the afternoon. |
|
The procession was led by the Priest and the Altar Servers |
They were followed by the children who had made
their first Communion that day. |
|
Then came the priest with more altar servers, with the
Blessed Sacrament, carried beneath a canopy. The lad with the umbrella
(which covered the Blessed Sacrament when it entered the school grounds)
is my son Peter and I am right behind in the light blue dress. |

This is the procession starting out from the church.
To the right is the building of the Catholic Club. |
|
Our Scout and Cub troop was also in the procession. |
Another view of the procession, outside the Three Tuns. |
|
Inside the school grounds an altar was set up. In later
years it was set up in the School room. |
|
|
This is the procession leaving the school. We
paraded back to the church by the same route as we had come. |
