Why do parish First Communion Masses so often neglect good liturgical principles? Should these celebrations resemble something analogous to a recital? Or, should they be celebrations worthy of the praise and glory of God? First Communion Liturgies explores the purpose and practice of First Communion in our time, uncovers the pitfalls associated with it, and offers a guide for preparing celebrations that will enrich the lives of children and families, bringing them into a deeper relationship with God and the church.

Donna Eschenauer is the director of religious education and the catechumenate at the Cathedral Parish of St. Agnes in Rockville Centre, New York. She received her PhD from the Fordham University Graduate School of Religion and Religious Education. Her recent publication A Second Look at the Directory for Masses with Children appeared as a featured article for PrayTell, the blog of Liturgical Press and Saint JohnG??s School of Theology. Her book on the Triduum is forthcoming.

“What a relief from the entertainment, sentimentality and photo-shots of First Communions hoisted upon us each spring. Eschenauer offers a creative alternative, namely, Eucharistic enchantment. Her book is full of wise guides and illuminating examples. Every parish ought to stock a bookshelf full of this gem of a book. Only a seasoned pastoral minister with a deeply grounded liturgical and educational background could write this very practical, yet profound, book.” Dr. Kieran Scott Fordham University
