Why are infants taken to communion?
You will notice that everyone, including children and infants go to communion. Those who are not receiving go anyway and receive a blessing, even babies in the womb! Cross your hands on your chest, get in line and wait at the edge of the carpet until the person in front of you has moved on. Tell Father or the Deacon your name when you step up. He will say your name as he gives you the Host that has been dipped in the Chalice. There is no Communion in the hand as in the Roman rite. We stand to receive Communion.
