Sometimes this is referred to as First Eucharist. First Communion affirms and deepens what you as a parent/guardian started in Baptism. It is a time when the choice you made in faith is now one you can share with your child. It is also public declaration of your faith and your wishes for your child.
Prayer after Communion
Lord Jesus, I love and adore you. You’re a special friend to me. Welcome, Lord Jesus, O welcome. Thank you for coming to me.
Thank you, Lord Jesus, O thank you for giving yourself to me. Make me strong to show your love wherever I may be.
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask you to stay, close by me forever and love me, I pray.
Bless all of us children in your loving care and bring us to heaven to live with you there.
