EUCHARIST

The Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life.

Our worship of the Eucharist centers primarily around the celebration of the Mass on Sundays and on weekdays. At Mass, Catholics who are not prohibited have the opportunity to receive Holy Communion. On Sundays at 9:00 and 10:30 am, the Eucharist is distributed under both forms.

Holy Communion is ordinarily to be received at Mass. On weekdays from Monday through Friday, those whose schedules prevent them from remaining for Mass can receive Holy Communion at the service before the 6:30 am Mass.

Those who are not able to come to Church to receive Holy Communion can receive Our Lord elsewhere. Those who are hospitalized or homebound have the opportunity to receive the Eucharist from the parish clergy or other Extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion. If you are homebound or hospitalized, please contact the rectory to receive Communion.

Children make their first Holy Communion at the end of their 2nd grade year. Students at the parish grade school and the parish CCD program generally make their first Communion together on the first Saturday of May. Students who make their first Communion must make their first Confession prior to receiving the Eucharist.

The Eucharist is also worshiped during adoration. Additional time for adoration is offered during Lent.
