You could be right Plummiegirl, or maybe first confession?

Did they have Corpus Christi processions in those days (May procession)?  I remember having to wear my first communion dress, and parade around in a procession, ending up in church, where a statue of Mary was crowned with a crown of flowers.  We had to strew petals everywhere from our little baskets.  Or was that a different procession?  It all seems to merge into one memory :)

Too old for first confession:

Rule of thumb  1st confession around 8/9   Holy Communion later same year 8/9
Confirmation around 10/11
All these catholic "hurdles" usually happen when a child is still in primary school, but there are exceptions to this rule.
