Communions

On 7th , 8th,14th,15th the first Holy Communions were held in our school.
The first Holy Communion is a very important event for the Catholics where children of about nine years old receive the Communion for the first time.
To receive the First Communion children need to have received baptism, to have attended catechism classes and to have confessed their sins.
Children have to attend catechism classes three years before receiving The First Holy Communion.
The lecturers of these classes are the childrens parents
For this important occasion children wear special clothes. Boys usually wear dark suits and girls wear white dresses. All the children take part in the ceremony. After the mass families and friends gather for a lunch. Then children their gifts.


In general it is a joyful day which children are looking forward to.
