Holy Days
Friday, May 9th, 2008Confirmation day and first Holy Communion days are very important milestones in the life of a child and in that of his or her family. They are often days when grandparents and distant relative travel for a family re-union. Not everybody thinks of giving a speech and a toast but it is a lovely idea to say something to commemorate the special day in the family history. The speech can touch on the child’s growing years and on the importance of faith in his or her life. It can stress how important the child is to those who love him or her. It should be very personal with a touch of humour but, overall, with the message that he or she is very much loved. It should end with a toast for the future. Most of us remember those special days but how much nicer the memory would be if someone thought to speak about us and how special we were.
