Sacrament of Initiation: First Eucharist / First Communion
Eating and drinking with the rest of the community at the Table of the Lord is a sign of belonging fully to that community.
First Holy Communion, that is, sharing in the body and blood of the Lord at Mass (Eucharist) for the first time, is the climax of the initiation process. Eating and drinking with the rest of the community at the Table of the Lord is a sign of belonging fully to that community.
When and where?
The local parish is where children celebrate confirmation and first communion because the parish is their local community of faith.
Children who are baptised as infants may be considered eligible for confirmation and first reception of Eucharist from about the age of seven years.
