The article contains an outline for the ceremony of the First Communion of children in the parochial church. It is based on historical research investigating the ways of preparing children for the First Communion in the Catholic Church of Western Europe and in Poland. The goal of this article is to create a new, original concept of this ceremony in order to improve the participation of children and all the faithful in a better and deeper experience of the First Communion. The liturgy is meant to be easier to comprehend by the children. In the rites, one of the ways of supporting those attempts will be through children’s gestures performed during the renewal of baptismal promises.

In the preceeding article Leo Spruit outlined three pastoral models. In this article some results are presented of four research- projects in catholic parishes. The three pastoral models are the frame of reference. These projects investigated the three initial sacraments (baptism, first communion, confirmation) and the motivation of catholic parents who have their children baptized.
