Question:
Can a child receive his First Communion during Advent?
Answer:
While from a practical point of view the weeks before Christmas seem like a rather inconvenient time for First Communion, there is no rule in the Church that would forbid it. Advent is not listed as a penitential time in the Code of Canon Law (canon 1250), so there is no reason a joyous celebration need be avoided.
