Holy Eucharist

The Eucharist, or Communion, is both a sacrifice and a meal. We believe in the real presence of Jesus, who died for our sins. Holy Communion is the act of receiving the real presence of Jesus Christ's body and blood, transubstantiated from the bread and wine during Mass. As we receive Christ’s Body and Blood, we also are nourished spiritually and brought closer to God.
