    Sacraments for Children with Special Needs
    • By Diocesan policy, children with physical or learning disabilities “are to be presented for Eucharistic Communion (or Confirmation) along with their age peers, seeking a degree of understanding appropriate to their individual condition” (Sacraments of Initiation Policies for the Diocese of Pittsburgh). The only reason to delay reception of a sacrament is if you believe it in your child’s best interests.

      Adaptations to the Celebration of Sacraments
      • First Reconciliation—may be done privately on any Saturday afternoon or by appointment rather than with the larger group; special seating arrangements can be made.
      • First Communion—may done privately during any weekend Mass or by appointment rather than with the larger group; special seating arrangements can be made.
