First Holy Communion

[louiselouise]

I am going to my friends sons first holy communion on saturday and have never been to one before as I am not Catholic, Anyone tell me what happens?

Reminds me of stumbling on the altar steps as a choirboy and my coveted pack of 5 Woodies dropped from under the cassock, to be snatched by the lad behind with snakelike reactions

How very true, headwreck. Unlike the Roman Church the C of E does not allow children to take communion until after Confirmation, usually early teens, by which time they are not so cute, but nonetheless mercenary for all that.

excuse me, louise.

Good to see you, seadogg, you seem to have been hiding !

[mike11111]

Seadogg, the lad behind was only moving swiftly to protect your reputation!

I know all that headwreck. I have been to my cousin's first communion. I was
at a loss at what to get, because as you say she would have already had bible.
crucifix etc. I think I plumped for a couple of children's books [perhaps she
would have preferred money] Had a lovely day, all the children looked gorgeous.
