	First Communion: Joining the Family Table by Carol Luebering \| Catholic Update ©1995
		First Communion is just such a momentous move.
		First communicants were 12 to 14 years old— nearly adults—until 1910, when Pope Pius X lowered the age for first reception to six or seven, "the age of reason." By then First Communion had become a "class" event.

	What is First Communion?
		First Communion is considered one of the holiest and most important occasions in a Roman Catholic's life.
		On the day of one's First Communion, and whenever receiving communion thereafter, those partaking must, out of respect for the body and blood of Christ, observe another rule: At least one hour before reception of the sacrament, they must fast, which means they may not eat any food.
		First Communion is a very important and holy day for Catholic children because they are receiving, for the first time, the body and blood of Jesus Christ.

		Where the parents are negligent or indifferent, or opposed to their child's first Communion, the father-confessor (note carefully that he is assumed to be already the child's confidant) can take on the entire responsibility.

	The Holy Father speaks to Children - Your First Holy Communion 1994 \| A Letter from the Vatican: First Penance, First ...
		John Paul II Children must receive the Sacrament of Penance before they receive their First Communion, according to a letter sent to the world's bishops by the Vatican Congregations for the Sacraments and Divine Worship and for the Clergy.
		That confession should precede communion is clear from the order in which these two sacraments are named in the decree, as well as from the fact that the disapproved abuses regarded not the admission to confession but rather, admission to holy communion.
		The mind of the declaration is that one year after the promulgation of the same declaration, all experiments of receiving first communion without the sacrament of penance should cease so that the discipline of the church might be restored, in the spirit of the decree, Quam Singulari.

		As a consequence, owing to various local customs and opinions, the age determined for the reception of First Communion was placed at ten years or twelve, and in places fourteen years or even more were required; and until that age children and youth were prohibited from Eucharistic Communion.
		Such is the injury caused by those who insist on extraordinary preparations for First Communion, beyond what is reasonable; and they doubtless do not realize that such precautions proceed from the errors of the Jansenists who contended that the Most Holy Eucharist is a reward rather than a remedy for human frailty.
		Those who have charge of the children should zealously see to it that after their First Communion these children frequently approach the Holy Table, even daily if possible, as Jesus Christ and Mother Church desire, and let this be done with a devotion becoming their age.

		This invasion of commercialism into the holy occasion of First Communion further deviates attention from the Holy Presence to the child, to her dress, her party, her own importance.
		Appropriate First Communion gifts are those of a religious versus secular nature, such as a rosary, a saint or prayer book, gloves, veil, shoes, medal, holy water font, crucifix or statue.
