Hi there, who said he had to wear a suit? Usually kids wear a nice pair of slacks, shirt and maybe v-neck jumper, all of which could be got in dunnes or Penneys or M&S if you want to push the boat out.
I worked for many years with schools and parishes on both Communion and Confirmation teams and the debate about the clothes continues every year. Some schools choose school uniform for the ceremonies and then afterwards the child can have a new casual outfit for going out for lunch etc.
In Bray, where I used to work, all the parishes and schools use white robes which they hire for the day and they wear what they like underneath. Why buy something to wear for only one day. Important to keep in mind what the day is about and focus on that rather than clothes and money.
