    The final step in Christian Initiation is the partaking of the Holy Eucharistic Mysteries (Communion). In the instance of Baptism or Chrismation, it is desirable that the newly illumined receive Communion as soon as possible from the chalice, during the next Divine Liturgy. The Sponsor should be prepared to receive the Eucharist at the time together with the newly baptized person. It is tradition that the newly initiated person receives Holy Communion for three consecutive Sundays, and after that as frequently as possible.

    It is customary to give a donation for use of the church for Baptisms/Christmations.
