Four hearses brought their bodies to the church on Sunday afternoon, where the bell sounded as their coffins were removed.
Players from Johnville football club, where Callum played, formed a guard of honour on the steps.
The four coffins, two of them white, were lined up side by side before being brought into the parish centre. One was draped in an Irish tricolour.
Parish priest Fr Gerry Chestnutt received the bodies, which lay in repose on Sunday afternoon.
Two other children, aged six and 14, were reported to remain in a critical condition in hospital following the attack.

Cian Stacey (21) and Jessica Dalton (31) were each charged with one count of criminal damage and two counts of assault causing serious harm.
Both were remanded in custody to appear before Waterford District Court on Tuesday.
