First Holy Communion Guidelines

Due to Covid Restrictions:

• Inside seating is limited due to Covid restrictions to 4 guests maximum (including sponsor and parents).
• ALL participants and attendees are required to wear masks inside the church (age 2 yrs old and younger are exempt).
• Masks will be removed only during the child's reception of Holy Communion.

Children should be dressed appropriately for this holy sacrament:

Girls in a modest dress (white with a veil optional)

• Gloves are not necessary.
• Please no high heels (we do not want the girls to slip!)

Boys in a dress suit or dark dress slacks and a white dress shirt

• No Jeans
• No T-Shirts
• No Street Shoes

ON THE DAY OF FIRST COMMUNION
​

• ​A picture will be taken of your child receiving Our Lord in the Eucharist for the first time and made available to parents at no cost.
• No personal photography is allowed in the church.

 
Holy Mother Church has been faced with obstacles throughout Her history.  She has remained steadfast throughout.  These are times that call for us to work together and put the beauty of the Sacraments and the welfare of our children first.  If you cannot follow the guidelines, please let Miss Leslie know by emailing her at LKLINGER@STJMOD.COM so your child’s name can be removed from the list and placed on a waiting list.

Thank you and God bless you all!
