The First Holy Communion is a ceremonial rite of passage for 7- to 8-year-old Catholics as it signifies their admission into to the church community. Planning is essential if you are planning to throw a first communion party in Hopkinton. Once you have decided on the size of your guest list and your budget, you will need to find a banquet hall, restaurant, or country club in which to hold the party after the religious ceremony. For an intimate gathering of family and close friends, a restaurant or a private room in a restaurant might do. For a larger shindig, you might need a banquet hall.
