The Eucharist, or Holy Communion, is the source and summit of the Catholic faith because it is Jesus Himself. Through this Sacrament, we enter into the most intimate union with our Lord.

We Believe:

• The Risen Jesus is truly and substantially present in the Eucharist.
• The Eucharist is not a sign or symbol of Jesus; rather we receive Jesus himself in and through the Eucharistic species.
• The priest, through the power of his ordination and the action of the Holy Spirit, transforms the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Jesus.

Who can receive?
Receiving the Eucharist changes us. It signifies and effects the unity of the community and serves to strengthen the Body of Christ. The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that all Catholics who have received their First Holy Communion are welcome to receive the Eucharist at Mass unless in a state of mortal sin. Anyone aware of having sinned mortally must not receive the Eucharist without having received absolution in the sacrament of penance. (CCC 1415)

First Communion
Like Baptism and Confirmation, our First Communion brings us into the fullness of life in Christ. Most often, the youth of our Parish receive their First Communion at the end of their 2nd Grade Faith Formation year.
