"The Eucharist is the Source and Summit of Christian Life."
​(Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1324)

Holy Eucharist

​At the Last Supper, on the night he was betrayed, our Savior instituted the Eucharistic sacrifice of his Body and Blood. This he did in order to perpetuate the sacrifice of the cross throughout the ages until he should come again, and so to entrust to his beloved Spouse, the Church, a memorial of his death and resurrection: a sacrament of love, a sign of unity, a bond of charity, a Paschal banquet 'in which Christ is consumed, the mind is filled with grace, and a pledge of future glory is given to us. (CCC 1323)

The Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist

The mode of Christ's presence under the Eucharistic species is unique. It raises the Eucharist above all the sacraments as "the perfection of the spiritual life and the end to which all the sacraments tend." In the most blessed sacrament of the Eucharist "the body and blood, together with the soul and divinity, of our Lord Jesus Christ and, therefore, the whole Christ is truly, really, and substantially contained." "This presence is called 'real' - by which is not intended to exclude the other types of presence as if they could not be 'real' too, but because it is presence in the fullest sense: that is to say, it is a substantial presence by which Christ, God and man, makes himself wholly and entirely present." (CCC 1374)

Reception of Holy Communion

​​Wednesday: 7:00 PM

Please reference our calendar on the home page for the most up-to-date Mass times.

The Church encourages frequent and devout reception of Holy Communion. 
When the Communion recipient says "Amen," they express the following beliefs:

• I believe this is the Body, Blood, Soul, Divinity of Jesus Christ our Lord;

• I believe and assent to everything the Catholic Church holds to be true as revealed by God;

• I am in communion with this body of Christian people.

In order to worthily receive Holy Communion, one must:

• Be in a state of grace; anyone conscious of having mortally sinned must first receive the sacrament of Reconciliation
• Abstain from food or drink at least one hour before reception of Holy Communion. This excludes water and medicine.

Note on Holy Communion: For those who are not Catholic, or Catholics who are not prepared to receive communion we invite you to come forward with your arms crossed over your chest in the communion line.

Eucharistic Adoration

The Catholic Church has always offered and still offers to the sacrament of the Eucharist the cult of adoration, not only during Mass, but also outside of it, reserving the consecrated hosts with the utmost care, exposing them to the solemn veneration of the faithful, and carrying them in procession. (CCC 1378)
