Catholic AnswerFor the full explanation, please see the decree, Quam Singulari, put out under St. Pius X, who returned the age of administering Holy Communion to the age of reason. In the early Church this was done as early as the first week after birth when they were baptized, but for various reasons, notably profanation of the Most Holy Eucharist, this was discontinued after the thirteen century.

What is a Holy Communion and what age do you receive it?
Most Catholic children receive their First Holy Communion when they reach the age of reason, about seven years of age. Communion is the receiving of the body and blood of Christ that have been transformed from simple bread and wine at the consecration of the Mass. Children usually require one or two years of education about the sacrament before they receive communion for the first time.

What do you have to do to get wine and bread in the Catholic Church?
First off, it is not wine and bread. It has been changed and is the body of Christ. That is probably what is restricting you from receiving communion. The Catholic and Orthodox believe that it had been transfigured, even though it doesn't change form, the bread and wine change in essence. To receive the Eucharist at a Catholic Church, you yourself need to become Catholic and believe in the Transfiguration
Can a Christian who is not baptized take communion?
It is not advised to receive Communion in a Catholic Church unless you are Catholic. The code of canon law allows for emergency situations when a Catholic priest can administer Communion to a non-Catholic, however, the non-Catholic would have to believe the Catholic doctrines concerning the Eucharist and so such emergency situations are practically restricted to the Orthodox. Euristic Communion in the Catholic Church implies one believes in the Catholic Faith, its sacrarisments, doctrines and the person is free from sin. As a Catholic we should not be offended by someone elses uneducated decision to take communion, instead we could try to explain to our fellow Christians what their taking of communion in the Catholic Church is stating. You do belong by Baptism to Christ, and you do have a relationship to His Church through Baptism. However, in Catholic belief Baptism does not permit one to receive the Eucharist. If you do receive communion in a Catholic Mass you are saying that you believe Catholic Truth, accept Catholic unity, accept Catholic doctrine and belong to the sacramental unity - without that being the case your "communion" taken in a Catholic Church is not a true "communion" per the Catholic beliefs. When you are taking communion in the Catholic church you are affirming in good conscience that you accept Catholic teaching, and you discern the Real Presence as Catholics hold it to be. Catholics have an educational process call catechism, our children can not take communion until they in essence "graduate" from that educational process having learned about the Catholic sacraments and our beliefs. Adults who wish to become Catholic must also complete educational classes, called RCIA and when they "graduate", mature in the Catholic beliefs (fully understand what they are affirming) they receive their first communion during Easter mass. Meanwhile the Catholic Church welcomes our children, visitors, other Christians, and Adult RCIA participants to participate in the communion portion of the mass through receiving a blessing for their Christian faith. This is accomplished by the person crossing their arms by placing your hands on the opposite shoulders. Eucharistic Ministers (those who pass out the communion) know by this process that a blessing is given in lue of the Holy communion Eucaristic sacrament. FYI- Catholics believe in seven Sacraments , each has it own spiritual commitment and significants "An outward sign instituted By Christ to give Grace, Christs loving gift of himself to his Church". They are: Baptism, Confirmation, Euchstist, Marriage, Reconciliation, Annoiting of the Sick and Holy Orders. "Through ones Catecumenal Journey we can fully appreciate his gifts when we understand the true nature of the sacraments " Peace to All.
What stages do you go through to become a Catholic?
The process necessary to become a Catholic takes different forms depending on the situation a person is in. Children under the age of seven become Catholic at their baptism, that they receive after their parents and God parents take a preparation class at a Catholic parish. Adults go through a process called RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adult). There is an RCIA form adapted for children older than seven. At the end of this process you receive the three sacraments of initiation which are Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Communion thus becoming Catholic. There is an exception for those non Catholics who have been baptized in other Christians denominations. If the church validate their baptism then after going through RCIA they become Catholic by just receiving the sacrament of reconciliation, and the other two sacrament of initiation which are confirmation and Holy Communion.
What are the sacraments at the service of communion?
Roman Catholic AnswerIn these days of the priest shortage, a Communion Service, in which a layman conducts a brief prayer service and distributes Holy Communion (that was consecrated at an earlier Mass) has become a sad necessity in places.
