About the Eucharist
The Eucharist, also referred to as Holy Communion, is the central part of the Mass for Catholics. It is at this time that the bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Christ. As Catholics, we believe that the Eucharist is not merely a sign or symbol, but that Jesus is truly present.
Receiving the Eucharist | At Sacred Heart, we celebrate the Mass and the Eucharist daily. Please visit our Mass Information for times.
If you have not received the Sacrament of First Eucharist, Sacred Heart has two programs available:
- For Children and Youth, we have a program for the development and deepening of our children’s faith, including preparation for First Holy Communion.
- For Adults who have never been Baptized and/or come from another faith tradition, we encourage you to participate in our Order of Christian Initiation of Adults program.
