GIRLS: White dresses of any type. In keeping with the spirit of the liturgy of Vatican II it is strongly
suggested that veils not be worn. This custom dates back to women covering their heads in church. Since this
is no longer a practice, it makes veils unnecessary. Additionally, it creates confusion between First Eucharist
and the custom of a bride being veiled. The children will be carrying lighted candles in the opening
procession of the First Eucharist liturgy, and the danger of the veils catching fire also exits. Because the girls
are not familiar with wearing something on their head, they often become preoccupied with their veil, taking
away from the proper focus on the celebration. Flowers or a white bow are suitable. No gloves may be
worn.
SEATING
Families will be seated together at the First Eucharist liturgies. A seating reservation form will be distributed
at the March 29 Formation Evening. Seats will be assigned according to group size and pew capacity.
FIRST COMMUNION GIFTS
For your convenience, a gift catalog will be made available as soon as they arrive from Stempers, our supplier.
Orders will be taken and you will be notified when they arrive.
FAMILY BANNER
Each family will make a banner to mark their pew in church at the First Eucharist liturgy. Instructions for the
banners will be distributed at the February 23 Formation Evening.
BAPTISMAL CANDLES
The children will carry a lighted candle in the opening procession of the First Eucharist liturgy. If you have the
baptismal candle from when he or she celebrated this sacrament, it may be used. If you cannot locate their
candle, we will supply you with a similar one for a nominal fee.
Space at each liturgy is limited to 33 families and will be assigned on first-come-firstserved basis. It is due by April 1.
