Today's post has a little mix of both First Communion and Confirmation memories with two certificates and a photograph. The first photo is courtesy of Enid Stanford O'Brien and is Enid's Confirmation certificate. This beautiful certificate is dated 10th June 1953.

A post about First Communion and Confirmation in St Patrick's Parish would be incomplete without somehow including dear old Holy Cross! This wonderful picture is of two Holy Cross Boys, Bill and John McAllister. The picture was taken in 1941 on the occasion of John's First Communion and Bill's Confirmation. John is wearing the traditional white rosette and Bill the traditional red rosette.

This last photo shows my own First Communion Certificate. It is dated 10th June 1952, exactly one year earlier than Enid's Confirmation certificate.
