Holy Eucharist -- The Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ

Picture
The source and summit of our Catholic faith, Holy Eucharist is our fundamental belief that ordinary bread and wine is transformed into the most Sacred Body and Blood of Jesus Christ.  Culminating in our Sunday worship of Mass, Holy Eucharist is the sum and summary of our faith: "Our way of thinking is attuned to the Eucharist, and the Eucharist is attuned to our way of thinking."  (St. Irenaeus)

First Holy Communion is offered through our parish's CCD program, and more information about that can be found by clicking here. 

For adults who are not Catholic and who wish to enter fully into our Catholic Faith, please call the office and make an appointment with Fr. Mikel.  The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) is offered on an as-needed basis with the help of parishioner volunteers, who will walk the journey with those adults who have a desire to become Catholic.
