Children and Communion  

Admission of Children to Communion at All Saints’ Church

The Church of England systems have changed to now allow children of any age to receive bread and wine at Communion before they are confirmed provided the child has been baptised & has received suitable preparation in church. 

Confirmation then remains the further important occasion at an older age when young people make their adult declarations of faith see https://www.churchofengland.org/life-events/confirmation

Whether a child receives Communion is a personal decision for each family. Page 6 of the Admission Guidelines Booklet highlights that ‘Children should not be admitted on the basis of parental aspiration alone, but for children who are under the age of 7 years the parents’ wishes will be considered’.

If parents would like their child to receive Communion they need to:

  1. Return the Parental Consent Form to Rev’d Sue or Ian or email it to contact@allsaintschurch.co.uk
  2. Discuss their child’s preparation with Rev’d Sue

For full details please see the information below or have a word with Rev Sue or Ian. 

The Admission Guidelines Booklet has resources to help you talk with your child at home

See page 17 of the Admissions Guidelines Booklet is helpful as are the resource links below.
