The Holy Eucharist is the true body of Jesus Christ and completes Christian initiation. The Eucharist is the heart and summit of the Church's life and the celebration always includes the Word of God, thanksgiving to God, the consecration of bread and wine, and participation by the faithful in receiving the Lord's true body and blood through Holy Communion at Mass.
The Holy Eucharist is offered to those who have been baptized in the Catholic Church. Children usually prepare for this sacrament in 1st grade and receive the sacrament in 2nd grade. Older children, teens, and adults receive the sacrament of Holy Eucharist through our RCIA program.
