What if you need a gift? We can help! Traditional first communion gifts include prayer books, missal (Mass book), scapulars, jewelry or a rosary. My grandmother gave me a gold necklace with my initials engraved on the front and my First Communion date on the back. I never take it off and it is a steady reminder of that day and my grandmother!
