The Eucharist is at the heart of the Catholic experience of God. Here – in Communion with God and with each other – we come to know the risen Christ. We hear the Word of God each time we gather in the Liturgy of the Word. We offer our lives and our hearts and our belongings to God. We enter into the mystery of Christ present to us in the Eucharistic prayer. Nourished by God we carry this love out into the world to sustain us until we meet again at the next celebration.
It is almost inconceivable to call ourselves Catholic without the Eucharistic celebration we call the Mass. Our weddings take place during the Mass as do our funerals. Often our children are baptized during Mass, just as we celebrate their First Communion and Confirmation with the Eucharistic celebration.
Please join us as we gather together each week to celebrate this sacred mystery.
“O sacred banquet in which Christ is received as food,
the memory of his passion is renewed,
the soul is fulfilled with grace
and a pledge of the life to come is given to us.”
-St. Thomas Aquinas
