First Communion: Take 1
My oldest child had his First Communion last weekend. It was rather anti-climactic - especially after they were able to taste unconsecrated bread and wine the week before (so there would be no gagging faces at the altar on Sunday).
He specifically requested a bowtie - and so he wore a bowtie. I even learned how to tie it. Thank you, YouTube...
Not much of a story to tell (much less entertaining than his First Confession) but I'll share my favorite picture from the entire day.
Our parish is overwhelmingly Hispanic. When I taught 1st grade CCD last year, the kids were named Tino, Isabel, Alicia (pronounced A-LEE-see-uh), Angelina, Yessenia, Oscar, Diego, etc. And Hispanic mothers and daughters really like First Communion (much like the Italian mothers and daughters in the town where I grew up). The dresses, veils, gloves, tiaras and satin purses were over-the-top. And many of the little boys were in head-to-toe white suits, white shirts, white shoes.
So, my little Irishman looked a bit out of place. Behold:
