  • The Sacrament of the Eucharist

    • The Eucharist is one of three Sacraments of Initiation:  Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. The Eucharist signifies and affects the unity of the people of God and achieves the building up of the Body of Christ. In receiving the Eucharist, we are nourished by the Lord. The bread and wine used at Mass are transformed in all but appearance into the Body and Blood of Christ.
       

    • Receiving or Preparing for the Sacrament of the Eucharist

      • Please see Mass Schedules, Special Seasonal Services, and Adoration for times of Eucharistic Celebration and Worship.

      • Homebound Parishioners may request the Eucharist be brought to their home by contacting the Parish Office.

      • To prepare for the Sacrament of the Eucharist:

        • For children, please see Reconciliation and Eucharist Preparation

        • For adults, please see the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults.
