We believe that through the Eucharistic prayer during Holy Mass, ordinary elements of bread and wine are transformed into the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Risen Lord. Jesus gave us this gift of Himself at the Last Supper. He did this so that those first disciples and all who would come after them would receive the spiritual nourishment they would need to stay strong in the faith. As we faithfully receive our Eucharistic Lord week after week, we become more like him so that we can be his presence in the world, drawing all people to Him and his Church.

What is the Eucharist?

The Eucharist is one of the Sacraments of Initiation (along with Baptism and Confirmation). Often called 'communion', the Eucharist provides the spiritual nourishment we need as disciples of the Lord. We say that because the Eucharist truly is the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ. This is not just a symbol. In the Sacrament of the Eucharist, the very essence or substance of the bread and wine is completely changed. Because the Eucharist is Christ Himself, we say that the Eucharist is "the source and summit" of the Christian life.
