Here at The Catholic Company spring is always an exciting time of year. We've been busy adding new items to our selection of First Communion gifts as well as bringing back popular favorites. We love this time of year knowing that all across the country children are growing in their faith and receiving Jesus in the Holy Eucharist for the very first time.

But this isn't the only thing we look forward to during this First Communion season . . . we also love to see photos of your little First Communicants all dressed up for their big day! That's why we're bringing back our annual First Communion Photo Contest.  Our staff enjoys viewing all the photo entries as they come pouring in, especially the part where we get to vote for our favorites.

This year The Catholic Company First Communion Photo Contest runs through May 31st , with the winner being announced on June 30th.  This year there are four top prizes. Three runners up will receive a $50 gift certificate to The Catholic Company.  The top First Communion photo will receive a $100 gift certificate to The Catholic Company! So when you're dressing up your little princes and princesses on their First Communion day, don't forget to snap a photo and send it in for your chance to win one of these great prizes.
