Top five gifts for First Holy Communion

Now that the first signs of Spring have sprung,  parents across the country are preparing their children to receive their First Communion, the next big step in their lives with God.

The Sacrament of Holy Communion is the pinnacle of our sacramental life where children receive for the very first time the body, blood, soul, and divinity of their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Through the Holy Eucharist, the "Blessed Sacrament," Jesus comes to dwell their hearts in the most real and personal way imaginable.
