No Matter how our lives may twist, turn and overlap, they all fit together as part of a magnificent whole.
No beginning. No end. Just one of God's creations. |

Eucharist
Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes has
eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate
the manna in the desert, but they died; this is the
bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it
and not die. 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 6:47-51)
The Sacrament of the Eucharist is the center of our
Catholic faith. It is both the renewal of Jesus'
sacrifice on the cross and a holy meal in which God's
people receive the body and blood of Jesus under the
appearances of bread and wine.
As distinct from many other Christian churches, the
Catholic Church believes that in the Eucharist Jesus
becomes both physically and spiritually present, whole
and entire, under the appearances of both bread and
wine.

Eucharistic Adoration is the act of
worshiping God as He is present in the consecrated Host.
Spending time before the Blessed Sacrament, in prayer and
devotion, is exactly the same as spending time before the living
God. Eucharistic Adoration is held in the Chapel located at the
Parish Center on Monday’s from 2:45 until 6:45 p.m.
|
Eucharistic Ministers to the Sick and
Shut-ins bring Communion on a regular basis to those who are
unable to attend Mass. The visits are arranged at a time
convenient for both the person being served and the Eucharistic
minister.
