Rachel,
- Have you considered that God may be calling your family to become Catholic?
Sounds like there is a draw that may be coming from the Lord.
If your son is already baptized, he would need to be received into the Church before he is able to receive the sacrament of the Eucharist. Normally, this happens through a formal ceremony at the Easter Vigil along with other RCIA candidates. Talk to your school's associated priest for other options.
- Why not have your whole family receive Communion together when you all become Catholic?
The Eucharist is a sign of unity along with being the actual Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Our Lord.
It is for this reason that the invitation is not extended to those who are separated brethren. It would become a false sign though, under grave circumstances, it is given to those who share the same belief about the Eucharist.
Think about it. You would be a blessing to all of the Church.
Peace,
Bob Kirby
