On the night in which he was betrayed, our Lord Jesus took bread, and gave thanks; broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me."
Again, after supper, he took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it for all to drink, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, shed for you and for all people for the forgiveness of sin. Do this for the remembrance of me."
The Eucharist, or Communion, is offered at our weekend masses (Saturday at 5:00pm, Sunday at 9:00am & 11:00am). It is also offered at our weekday masses. Please see the parish calendar or the weekly bulletin for those times.
First Eucharist
Parents who prepare and present their children for First Eucharist are continuing the formation process that began when they presented their child for Baptism. Children in grade 2 (or older) usually celebrate this sacrament and are ordinarily excited for this “long-awaited” chance to share in the Mass more fully. Parents are very involved in this program with a book of several themes, a parent evening, a Sunday enrollment ceremony, an evening of learning centers with the child, a retreat evening, and a personal interview.
