Receiving one’s First Holy Communion is an incredible experience that is rightly celebrated!
We want to help you make the day special for that special someone and also help nourish and nurture that seed of faith which will hopefully grow as the child grows.

It’s amazing what Catholic creativity is producing these days!
We’ve divided up the gifts into the following categories:

Unique First Holy Communion Gifts
Sacrifice Beads from Happy Nest Home Goods are gorgeous!
Set of sacrifice beads, modeled after those used by St. Therese of Lisieux to count little acts of kindness or little sacrifices made for love of others throughout the day. Keep the beads in your pocket and each time you offer something up (holding your tongue, stubbing your toe, emptying the dishwasher, anything you can think of!), move a bead towards the Crucifix. This beautiful practice will help foster your ability to see opportunities to offer every moment to God.
Designs include both masculine and feminine options. You are going to get a set for yourself too!
Chalice and Host Necklace – Ball Chain (perfect for boys!)
Iridescent, Acrylic Charm Bracelet
