First Holy Communion

Molly and Desmond were elated that they were able to pull it off.

Their son Clarissa was about to make his first holy communion, but he could not wear a dress to the ceremonies. The archdiocese insisted that boys had to wear blue suits (jackets and trousers) despite the fact that in this day and age, most parents raised their sons as sissies.

Molly and Desmond pleaded Clarissa's case to their parish's pastor, Father Maxine, and to the parish nun who organized the first holy communion, Sister Bernard. There they found sympathy, but not much hope for their cause.

Then there was a miracle!

The archbishop of the diocese retired and Pope Raylene II appointed a woman, Archbishop Rhonda, as the new archbishop.

With this turn of events, Father Maxine and Sister Bernard contacted the archbishop about the dress requirements and in response, she decreed that both boys and girls could wear dresses to their first holy communion ceremonies.

So it came to pass that on the Sunday of Clarissa's first holy communion, Clarissa shed tears of joy when he paraded down the church aisle with the other sissies wearing adorable first holy communion dresses, while Molly and Desmond proudly looked on wearing his and her skirt suits, (Molly's in baby blue and Desmond's in dusty pink); a complete feminine family just as Goddess intended.

  2. Even though I'm decidedly unreligious (or maybe it's because of the fact), it warms my heart to see that tolerance prevailed.

  3. Well, I wore a dress to my baptism. Why can't you do that a few years later? Ah...the Catholic Church. Don't get me started...

      When i was 13,my sister,lacey was 15 and she was baptized during mass on a sunday morning in May.Our parents dressed her in the traditional,white,short sleeve,poofy,above the knees baptism dress and bonnet with lace socks and white maryjanes shoes and under her dress,a white tee shirt with a cloth diaper and crinkly plastic pants. She looked so cute and 'babyish' i was envious of her!Later on that next week,her baptism outfit was in her room and i was home alone after school for a couple of hours.I snuck into her room and put her baptism outfit on and pretended i was a girl and paraded around in the outfit!

  8. Both my wife and I believe priests should be women and the darling little altar boys would be much safer. And you're right---there are lots of darling young altar boys with long hair that are beautiful in their altar gowns. Jaye Anne
