QR Code Link to This Post
This is attributed to be Reta Helen Nash (August 9, 1903, York, Ontario – Sept. 22, 1924, York, Ontario), daughter of James Nicholas Nash (1857-1929), & Mary Walsh (1862-). She was Catholic.
Most Roman Catholic children receive their First Holy Communion when they are 7 or 8 years old, as this is considered the age of reason. In 1910 Pope Pius X issued the decree Quam singulari, which changed the age at which First Communion is taken to 7 years old, due to the case of Ellen Organ. Previously, local standards had been 19 or 12 or even 14 years old.
Older people can receive communion for the first time when they have met all the Catholic Church's requirements.
