That depends entirely on how many children are making their first Holy Communion. It should be about the length of a normal Sunday Mass what with singing, and homily, and whatnot. If there are a lot of children, and a lot of family members, it might go much longer.

Can non-Roman Catholics receive the Roman Catholic Sacrament of Holy Communion?
No, unless they are willing to come into the Roman Catholic church. If they don't know that it is wrong then it is not a sin though.AnswerNo they cannot, despite the fact that the Catholic Church recognises baptism in other denominations as long as it is in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.Along with a few other doctrines from which the Catholic Church will not retract, this exclusive and divisive ban on receiving the sacrament of Holy Communion in the Catholic Church for non-Catholics is THE one great stumbling block to ecumenism - especially as almost all other denominations welcome communicant members of other denominations to their own tables with open arms.

Can a Catholic accept communion at a Presbyterian church?
Under no circumstances or for any reason should a Catholic even pretend to participate in a Presbyterian "Communion service". To do so is to imply a) that you believe as they do, and b) that you are in communion with them. Nothing could be further from the truth. If you do not understand what is involved in Holy Communion in a Catholic Church as opposed to a Presbyterian, I would recommend that you make an appointment with your priest and have a good, long chat with him, the sooner the better!

Why is the First Eucharist so important for children?
.Catholic AnswerThe First Holy Communion is a huge day in any person's life. Many people remember their First Holy Communion long into their old age, a very famous Catholic, or perhaps "infamous" was Napolean who in his older years mentioned that, of his entire life, the high point was the day of his First Holy Communion. This is the day on which a child receives Our Blessed Lord, Body and Soul, Humanity and Divinity, into themselves. Our Blessed Lord is finally joined with one whom He loves above all others - a child. .from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 19941244 First Holy Communion. Having become a child of God clothed with the wedding garment, the neophyte is admitted "to the marriage supper of the Lamb" (Rev 19:9) and receives the food of the new life, the body and blood of Christ. The Eastern Churches maintain a lively awareness of the unity of Christian initiation by giving Holy Communion to all the newly baptized and confirmed, even little children, recalling the Lord's words: "Let the children come to me, do not hinder them." (Mk 10:14) the Latin Church, which reserves admission to Holy Communion to those who have attained the age of reason, expresses the orientation of Baptism to the Eucharist by having the newly baptized child brought to the altar for the praying of the Our Father.
