Holy Eucharist

“Take this, all of you, and eat of it, for this is my Body, which will be given up for you.”

- The Roman Missal

First Holy Communion

  • Children are invited to take part in our First Communion program which consists of two years of preparation. Parents of those receiving First Holy Communion must attend scheduled meetings to take an active part in this formation. Please see our Religious Education page for more information or contact our Director of Religious Education, Ann Farrell, below.

  • If you are an adult Roman Catholic who has not yet received Holy Communion, please check out The Rite of Christian Initiation for more information.

  • The Eucharist is the living bread from Heaven. The Eucharist is the Real, True and Substantial Presence of Jesus’ Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. After His Resurrection, it was in the breaking of the bread that Jesus’ disciples recognized Him. In receiving the Eucharist, we become the Body of Christ. We are transformed and are united with our brothers and sisters in Holy Communion. Receiving the Eucharist is the foretaste or promise of what God has in store for us in Heaven.
