Hi everyone,

I have been trying to find out more information about First Holy Communion in Spain. I have two children aged 4 and 6 and we plan to move to Denia next year. We have decided on putting our kids into a private Spanish school and from my limited research, religious education is not usually taught however, I may be wrong.

In the UK, First Holy Communion is usually made around 8 years of age. Is this the same in Spain?

Does the catholic church run preparation classes for the kids making first holy communion or is this run only through Spanish state schools?

I have trawled the internet but this is one topic I can't seem to find much information on.

Thanks in advance

First Communion is a big event in Spain, normally May. Lots of expense, big family and close friends.Many stores offer special clothing for the event, obviously white for girls, often small suit for boys. Local church will provide more information.
