The Eucharist is the source and summit of our Catholic faith. In the Sacrament of Holy Communion, we receive the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, who strengthens us with His very life and unites us more deeply to God and to one another.

At every Mass, the faithful are invited to share in this sacred meal, which nourishes our souls and empowers us to live as disciples of Christ in the world.

First Holy Communion

Children usually receive their First Holy Communion after a period of preparation that includes catechesis, participation in parish faith formation, and the Sacrament of Reconciliation. This moment is a milestone in a child’s life of faith, marking their full participation in the Eucharistic table for the first time.

Parents and families play an essential role in this preparation, teaching by example the importance of Sunday Mass and a life rooted in prayer.

Communion for the Homebound

Our parish recognizes that not all members are able to attend Mass due to illness, age, or other circumstances. Through the Homebound Ministry, trained and commissioned ministers bring the Eucharist directly to those unable to join us physically. This service ensures that every member of our community remains connected to Christ and His Church through the sacrament.

If you or a loved one would like to receive Holy Communion at home, please reach out to the parish office to schedule a visit.

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion

In order to make Holy Communion available to all the faithful during Mass and beyond, our parish is supported by Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (EMHCs). These lay men and women are specially trained and commissioned to assist the priest in distributing the Eucharist.

Extraordinary Ministers not only serve during Mass but also extend Christ’s presence to the sick, homebound, and those in care facilities. This ministry is a beautiful witness to the Church’s mission of service and unity.
