“The Eucharist is the bread that gives strength… It is at once the most eloquent proof of His love and the most powerful means of fostering His love in us.”
Saint Damien of Molokai
“He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.” (John 6:56)
The Eucharist is the source and summit of our Catholic Faith. In Holy Communion we receive Jesus Christ, who gives Himself to us in His body, blood, soul, and divinity. This intimate union with Christ both signifies and strengthens our union with Him and His Church.
Preparation for First Holy Communion takes place during elementary faith formation. If you are an adult who has not yet received first communion please contact Deacon Les Loh (deaconles@stjudechurch.net)
