When Are First Communions and Confirmations in 2027?
Every school and parish sets its own date, but here's when the big day usually falls.
First Communion
- Usually in 2nd class (around age 7–8) in the Republic of Ireland, and in P4 in Northern Ireland.
- Most First Communions take place between April and June, very often on a Saturday in May.
Confirmation
- Usually in 6th class (around age 11–12), or P7 in Northern Ireland.
- Dates are set around the bishop's visit, so they vary more by parish and can be any time from late winter to early summer.
Your school or parish sets the date and usually announces it months in advance. Check your parish website or newsletter, or ask the school.
