Why A My Pal® for First Eucharist

Today is Ash Wednesday, a great time for Christians to think about our faith. We especially are going to be mindful of making sacrifices during the 40 days of Lent leading up to our most joyous time of year: Easter! The sacrifices of Lent remind us of the greatest sacrifice of all, when Christ died for us on a cross… the same sacrifice that is remembered every day in the celebration of the Holy Eucharist at mass.

Our children need to learn about and begin to understand the Eucharist as the sacrament that keeps them close to Jesus. As a second grade catechist, I have seen over the years that it can be very difficult for seven year olds to grasp the concepts and true meaning of their First Holy Communion. After many years of praying and contemplating, I decided that a great way to help children making this sacrament would be to give them an opportunity to learn through play, hence the purpose and creation of My Pal for First Eucharist. Our beautiful dolls make a versatile religious gift, because they can be given as a traditional First Holy Communion keepsake gift and/or as I have intended them to be: a doll with which they can learn, imagine, pray and role play.

First Communion Gift

Some people call it First Communion, some call it First Eucharist, but it’s still the same sacrament that will always be a special memory for Catholic boys and girls. My Pal for First Eucharist is a great buddy for any boy making this important sacrament of initiation and would make a great First Communion gift. Our 18” boy doll or plush toy can be the perfect religious gift for your loved one, to help him commemorate his First Communion Day and always keep it fresh in his mind. My Pal for First Eucharist comes with a booklet that has prayers for the First Communion recipient to read, and it also gives a prompt to help him to write his own story about his experiences preparing for and making the sacrament. To see all our choices of First Communion dolls and outfits, please visit our My Sibling and My Pal store.

My Pal for First Eucharist is a handsome 18” boy doll that comes dressed in a linen-like suit, a white shirt and tie, and white shoes and socks. The doll clothing is made in the USA. Our Work Experience Program makes My Pal for First Eucharist extra special, because he is dressed and accessorized by teens and adults with disabilities. Please read more about our program on our website. And remember these dolls for those First Eucharist gifts.
