The Catholic Parish of the Wairarapa held two First Eucharist celebrations this year. A group of children from St Mary’s school in Carterton and St Patrick’s Church Masterton, celebrated on Sunday 13 November, with DRS/teacher Christine Connor and parish priest Fr Bruce England. Earlier in the year, a group from St Patrick’s school celebrated their First Eucharist on 29 May at St Patrick’s Church, with DRS/teacher Corey Kennedy and Fr Bruce. It was to have been celebrated last year but was cancelled due to Covid-19 restrictions.
