What is a First Holy Communion? In the simplest terms, First Holy Communion is a religious ceremony performed in church by Catholics when a child reaches the age of around 7-8 years and celebrates the first time that they accept the bread and wine (also known as the Eucharist).

What month do you make your First Communion?

First Holy Communion for children traditionally takes place during the Easter season. We celebrate with our children on the Second or Third Sunday of Easter at the 10:30 a.m. Mass.

What day of the week are first communions?

After First Communion, young Catholics must attend church every Sunday, and they are encouraged to receive communion frequently, even weekly. If one has missed Sunday mass without good reason or has committed a mortal sin, that person is expected to go to confession before receiving communion again.
