Eucharist

Holy Eucharist

“I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world” (John 6:51)

Eucharist

The Eucharist is the greatest of all the sacraments and is not merely an instrument for the giving of grace—here is the actual Giver of grace Himself, Jesus Christ our Lord truly and personally present.

The Eucharist contains the Real Presence of Jesus: it’s the real Jesus—He is truly present, Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity.

Please consider service to our parish community by helping with the liturgy.  This includes being an altar server, an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion, a lector, part of the adult or children’s choir and much more!

Deepen your prayer life by committing to spend time in front of the Blessed Sacrament during our adoration times (see list to the right).
