Holy Eucharist
The Sacrament of Holy Eucharist
The Holy Eucharist is the true Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, offered under the appearance of bread and wine. It is the very sacrifice of the Cross, made present on the altar. In every Mass, we participate in the memorial of His death and resurrection—a sign of unity, a bond of charity, and a pledge of eternal life.
To receive Holy Communion is to enter into intimate union with Christ. It is the Paschal Banquet, where Christ is consumed, the mind is filled with grace, and a pledge of future glory is given to us.
"I am the living bread that came down from heaven."
— John 6:51
First Holy Communion for Children
Children generally receive First Holy Communion around the age of seven, following a period of preparation and catechesis within the parish.
If your child is ready to prepare for this important sacrament:
- Please speak with Fr. Drew after Mass,
- Or call the Rectory to begin the process.
