CHILDREN from Laois schools have made many happy memories with their families at their First Holy Communion celebrations this month.

Don’t miss our eight-page special photo feature from schools around the county in the next edition of the Laois Nationalist, in shops on Tuesday 30 May and in our online edition here.

Keep an eye out for a selection of photos online over this weekend.
