You want to further personalize your message by mentioning the communicant by name and by also mentioning your relationship.

Additionally, you want to show them how dear they are to you, which is why this event is equally unique, making you glad to be a part of it. For instance, start with “My one and only son, Gideon, …”, “My most beloved granddaughter, Talia, …”, “As your godparents, …” or end with “ — from your uncle.” The relationship could be mentioned mid-sentence, eg, “Remember that your mother is super proud of you…”

Final blessing

The First Holy Communion/ Eucharist/ Sacrament tradition is also practiced in the Lutheran, Methodist, Greek Orthodox, Anglican, and many other protestant churches, but with less stringent rules about the age of first participation as compared to the Catholic Church. 

A child’s first holy communion is the moment they receive their first sacrament and are essentially introduced to the Christian faith. This event is, therefore, very significant in bringing them closer to God. 

There you go now! 

All set!
