At What Age Do Children Typically Receive Sacrament of First Holy Communion?

In the Catholic Church, children typically receive their First Holy Communion between the ages of 7 and 8 years old, typically in the second grade. However, the exact age may vary slightly depending on the diocese or parish. The child usually undergoes religious instruction and preparation for the sacrament of the Eucharist in the months leading up to their First Communion.
