  • FIRST EUCHARIST

    Catholics believe that in Holy Communion we are united in a special way with Jesus Christ.

  • Eucharist today

    The celebration of the Eucharist is not a private devotion but rather a communal gathering much like a family meal. We come together at the same time and in the same place. We open with a ceremony of pardoning, a way to unburden ourselves of past offenses so that we can rejoice in one another’s company. Later we will share a sign of peace and reconciliation.
