This is the heart of the Mass, where bread and wine are transformed into the true Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ. This is not merely symbolic – it is a miraculous transformation that makes present Christ's sacrifice on Calvary. Through the Eucharist, we participate in Christ's wedding feast with His Church.

During the Eucharistic Prayer, the congregation kneels in reverence. We then stand for the Lord's Prayer, Nuptial Blessing, and the Sign of Peace. This part of the Mass will end with the Universal Prayer/Prayer of the Faithful.

The reception of Holy Communion is a profound expression of Catholic faith and unity with the Church. Catholics who are properly disposed (in a state of grace) may receive the Eucharist. We respectfully ask that those who are not Catholic, or Catholics not properly disposed, remain in their pews in prayerful reflection or come forward with arms crossed over their chest to receive a blessing.
