Holy Communion vs One direction madness

    The kids could probably pay to have the concert moved, what with the going rate for a first communion handout these days.

    Bit silly really, If they really wanted to go to the concert, whats stopping them from doing both on the same day?

    Suggesting that they switch the date is blasphemy.

    Quick close the thread :)

    Actually going to see one direction probably is too.

    Its not just the concert.Too late now to book the Stretch Hummer,Glass Carriage,helicopter,catering,fake tan,hair,nails, bouncy castle,The clown,etc.Will someone think of the children.The lads in Love Hate will be raging they didnt think of this.

    Why can't the parents have their children's first communion on another date as part of a normal Sunday mass. The rest of the class can have theirs on the assigned date.

    Cafeteria Catholicism at it's finest.

    and yeah why can't they do both? Limerick-Dublin is barely 2hrs drive these days up the motorway.

    In principle, I don't think there's anything wrong with adjusting the date for the kids to received their First Communion is a problem at all. It makes perfect sense to accomodate everyone as much as possible.

    But it seems a bit frivolous that a One Direction concert (which they could probably still make in the same day) would be a reason to move a date that suits everyone else.

    My suspicion is that the parents asking for the move are thinking more in terms of the afters (dinner, drinks, bouncy castle) than the sacrament itself. That's sad.

    My suggestion:

    Stick with the original day, receive the sacrament, go home, get in the car, go to One Direction and have a good (??) time.

    Just get the communion first and wear their concert clothes under their Communion outfit. Have car ready and drive to the Best Song everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    That this is somehow newsworthy boggles the mind.

    Read this on the Irish Times Facebook page earlier and some twat was having a pop at the girls for "liking the same band as everyone else in their class, how original" or something to that effect.

    They're what? 8 or 9 years old? Of course they like the pop music their friends like.

    For f*ck's sake!

    As for the concert - I'd say the parents want to go on the lash so don't want to waste a valuable drinking day driving their daughters up to some sh*tty concert. Come on Catholic Church - move so they can have their p*ss up!

    If the communion means that much to the parents, they'll go to the Communion mass.

    One Direction concert organised first. Surely a compromise can be reached?

    the parents won't be able to drink as they have to drive to Dublin.

    and can i just say.....I knew this would happen...somewhere in the country. we have 4 communions to attend in May (nieces and nephews) and when booking the 1D tickets for my daughter i was thinking it would probably clash with at least one communion. We ended up getting the sunday night tickets, but I was saying at the time...there will be a bit of a connundrum when the communion dates clash with the concert date..
