On a happier note…I was confirmed today and recieved my first communion (a number of us, actually), and had the pleasure of watching my brother get baptized (along with one other person). So there’s at least two new baptized Christians, and a couple new Papists in my neck of the woods. What a wonderful and moving mass. Have a great Easter!

Woohoo! Congrats.[/quote]

Thank you, thank you!

Congratulations. Explain something to a Protestant (Anglican, but still…): do you have to be confirmed as a Catholic to receive communion? I thought it was just baptized. That’s how it works for us.[/quote]

Yep, I had to be confirmed.

I’m a Lutheran and we did not get communion until we got confirmed.
