Remembrance of My First Holy Communion-Girl-White Edges: Marian Children's Mass Book

Remembrance of My First Holy Communion (Girls)

Remembrance of My First Holy Communion by Sister Mary Theola, illustrated by George Angelini is a beloved, timeless Catholic keepsake missal designed specifically for kids receiving their First Holy Communion.

It's not a storybook or deep theology dive--it's a personal, portable prayer companion that marks the big day: the moment a child first receives Jesus in the Eucharist. Parents and godparents gift it as a memento, often with room for names, dates, photos, or notes. What makes it important? It turns a one-time sacrament into a lifelong tool--helping kids (and later adults) stay connected to Mass, prayer, and faith. Super common in Catholic families; many folks still pull theirs out decades later for nostalgia or quick devotions.
