“At the Last Supper, on the night he was betrayed, our Savior instituted the Eucharistic sacrifice of his Body and Blood. This he did in order to perpetuate the sacrifice of the cross throughout the ages until he should come again, and so to entrust to his beloved Spouse, the Church, a memorial of his death and resurrection: a sacrament of love, a sign of unity, a bond of charity, a Paschal banquet ‘in which Christ is consumed, the mind is filled with grace, and a pledge of future glory is given to us.'” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, §1323)
First Communion is normally celebrated during the child’s 2nd grade year of school in May. Those not enrolled in a Diocesan Parochial School should contact the Parish Priest at the Parish Office regarding CCD classes.
Holy Communion is brought to our parishioners who are unable to attend Mass (short-term and long-term), the sick, and the homebound. If someone in your family is sick in the hospital or is homebound and would like the visit of the parish priest, please contact the Parish Office. If it is a Sacramental Emergency requiring the immediate assistance of the Parish Priest, please press 3 when calling the Parish Office.
