I know of some kids who made over €2000. Its crazy!
Im a non believer. I hate everything the catholic church stands for.
I have a child on the way. I have no intension of having the child christened.
When she/he is 7 or 8 and if the majority of the kids are making communuion and my child wants to make it then I will let him/her.
I will stand in the church, take photographs (so long as I am allowed) and be proud.
Am I a hypocrite? Maybe.
Do I care if the catholic church thinks me a hypocrite? Ha ha
Get your sacraments right - you mean baptised.If your child is not christened in the Catholic church ...
DO you care if your child doesn't get a place the local parish school, because christened Catholics are given priority for places?Do I care if the catholic church thinks me a hypocrite? Ha ha

Do you know that to be true for all schools ?
In my son's class, there are six children who have not been baptised into the Catholic Church. His class is one of four in that year, and the other classes has a similar proportion.
All were made welcome to participate in the preparations for first Holy Communion.
IIRC, the ones who didn't get a place in the school, five years ago, were those from outside the cachement area, i.e. children not baptised were given a place, ahead of those baptised, on the basis of location.
People are worse giving cash.
Ours asked for baptismal certificates.How do the schools know if a child has been baptised or not?

Any Church-owned school gives priority to baptised children. If there are enough spaces, then they accept everybody. If there are more applications than spaces, then the non-baptised children don't get a place.Do you know that to be true for all schools ?

Of course you can. Give a present instead of cash. Give an outing (i.e. spend time with the child) instead of cash.How do you stop, though? You can't make an example out of your child/niece/grandchild, to prove a point.
