can your children make their holy communion even if they don't go to a catholic schoo

[Guest ray and sharon from cov]

we are hoping to arrive in adelaide in approx 18mths and i was wondering??

 

I know the catholic schools are private over there (which i don't think we will be able to afford for a few years)

 

Does anyone know if it possible to still be part of a church and make their holy communion or would they have to be at the school???

 

any info that you have or can point me to would be much appreciated

thanks Sharon:jiggy:

Of course they can, not all catholic kids attend private schools and the Catholic church here prefers kids to take their communion with their church anyway with the parents showing commitment by carting the kids to church for sunday school and preparation.

no worries...you just arrange it through the parish Church.......schools are taking less responsibility for it now and its done with parents and Church..you'll just need the Baptism Cert and Reconcilliation date...also YOU decide when you think your child is ready

oh right. does that mean they don't have to make it when they are 8? -
