What is the Eucharist?

So Jesus said to them, “Amen, Amen, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave the bread from heaven; my Father gives you the true bread from heaven…I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever, and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.” (John 6:32, 51)

The Eucharist, the living and real presence of Jesus Christ, is the source and summit of the Christian Life. "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.'” (CCC, 1323).

Eucharistic Adoration

Eucharistic Adoration enables the faithful to encounter Jesus Christ as physically present in the Blessed Sacrament. Our parish is blessed to have a perpetual adoration chapel.
