1st Communion Checklist
|
Godparents / Padrinos
God parent names and certificates are not needed by the parish office for 1st Communion. However, it is appropriate that the Godparents from Baptism be informed of their Godchild's 1st Communion so they may witness it. During the Mass, Godparents and parents may sit behind the children. Children walk alone down the aisle. Confessions Confessions before 1st Communion are mandatory. (Sign-up for times at the Day of Reflection.) Day of Reflection Day of Reflection is mandatory for child and parents. |
