Why is First Communion such a special occasion?

​Hear Fr. Brad Doyle explain why Holy Communion is so important, so you and your kids can celebrate this great occasion with profound faith and joy. Why has the Church celebrated First Communion with such fanfare for so many centuries? Why do we give gifts and host parties, and why do first communicants wear special dresses or suits they may only wear on that day? Because this is a child's first entrance into the full inner life of the Holy Church, their first participation in that great heavenly banquet feast for which we are all destined! In Holy Communion we have access to the greatest grace, Christ's own divine life! The Church teaches that at every Holy Mass,
all the saints and angels are present along with Christ in his Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. Celebrate this beautiful occasion with @CatholicCompany!

Why do the children wear dresses & suits for their 1st communion? Why are the girls wearing wedding dresses?

Please BAPTIZE in the NAME not titles. Name is Jesus.... Re baptize for remission of sins.
Acts 2:38. Acts 8:12, 16
Acts 10:43 to end; Acts 19:1-6, acts 22:16. The blood to remit your sin is under the name of Jesus. A lamb sacrificed for our sins. I had A powerful experience when I baptized. I was BURRIED in JESUS'S NAME, rose in NEWNESS of life.
