Eucharist

Jesus said: “I am the living bread that came down from heaven;
if any one eats of this bread, he will live forever…
he who eats my flesh and drinks by blood has eternal life and… abides in me, and I in him.”
John 6:51, 54, 56
 
The Eucharist is the heart and the summit of the Church’s life, for in it Christ associates his Church and all her members with his sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving offered once for all on the cross to his Father; by this sacrifice he pours of the graces of salvation on his Body which is the Church.
Catechism of the Catholic Church #1407

The Holy Eucharist is a true sacrament, instituted by Christ. Christ is really present in the Holy Eucharist, even when not being received. It is therefore to be honored and adored. The whole Christ is present in either kind and is received by the communicant. For the wheat bread and grape wine are transubstantiated by the ordained priest into the flesh and blood of Christ so that only the appearance of bread and wine remains. The sacrament effects union with Christ; it is nourishment for the soul, gives increase in grace, and remits venial sin and punishment.

The Eucharist is celebrated at each daily Mass and on weekends. See Mass schedule for times.

Communion is also offered to those homebound and not able to attend Mass due to illness or advanced age.
