Eucharist

“The Holy Eucharist completes Christian initiation. Those who have been raised with the dignity of the royal priesthood by Baptism and configured more deeply to Christ by Confirmation participate with the whole community in the Lord’s own sacrifice by means of the Eucharist.”

The Sacrament of Eucharist for our Church

Christ promised his followers that he would feed them here on earth and welcome them to a banquet in Heaven. He fulfills his promise through the sacrament of the Eucharist by offering His own body and blood to feed the faithful both physically and spiritually.

The Eucharist is the most eminent sacrament, in which Christ himself is contained, offered, and received. As children reach 2nd grade or above, we extend them an invitation to celebrate the sacrament of the Eucharist. This is done through participation in our parish Religious Education program.
