Eucharist, from Greek, means "to give thanks." It is a celebration
of Christ's gifts - especially the gift of worshipping God the Father as
a community. Eucharist has held a central place of prominence in
the Church from the very beginning. Every time we gather for
Eucharist, we take part in the great mystery of faith. We believe that
this sacred bread and wine are the body and the blood of Jesus.
When we eat his body and drink his blood, we will have eternal life.
It's not mere symbolism. It celebrates our being fully committed and
united to the Catholic Church, its structures, its sacraments, and its
governance.
First Eucharist is celebrated by children who are 7-8 years of age
and by adults who enter the Church through RCIA. Non- Catholic
adults interested in Catholicism and parents interested in their child's
preparation for First Eucharist should contact our Parish Office
256-6498.
