At First Communion the child receives Christ in the Blessed Sacrament for the very first time in his/her life(hence "FIRST"). At Confirmation, the young adult receives the Seal of the Holy Spirit.

First Holy Communion is when you first receive holy communion. It is normally celebrated in grade 4 or 3. Confirmation is the when you are given the holy spirit so that it fulfils you. This usually celebrated in grade 6.

Going Catholic how do you do it?

Go to your local church, ask if there are any baptismal ceremonies coming up, get baptized. Then after that, if you are over the age of 18, you must have your First Holy Communion and your Confirmation. You are usually baptized when you are a baby if your family is too and wants you to be Catholic. Then you have your First Holy Communion when you are in second grade, then, when you are 17 or 18, you have you Confirmation. It may take a lot of Religion classes for you to be able to receive First Holy Communion and Confirmation, but if you wish to be Catholic you must go through with it. Then after all of that you must go to mass every Sunday and Holy Days to receive Holy Communion (the Eucharist). Trust me, I'm a Catholic, I know what I'm doing!ANSWER:Cute. :-)1. Visit a Catholic Church in your neighborhood.2. Tell the priest you'd like to consider becoming a Catholic.3. Ask about their RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation) program.4. If you were baptized in a non-Catholic Christian denomination, you will not be re-baptized. You'll just need to receive the other Sacraments of Christian initiation: Confession/Reconciliatiion, Holy Communion/Eucharist and ConFIRMation.5. Process takes approximately 4 to 5 months; faster if necessary for some legitimate reason.
