On the Solemnity of Pentecost we witnessed the celebration of First Holy Communion administered to Roxanne Cadavid, Joseph Cadavid, Dominic Porcoro Jr., and Julianna Porcoro. We congratulate them and their families on this special day.
The new recipients of the Holy Eucharist are welcomed to participate in the life of the parish by serving as altar servers, and in the future, as lectors reading the Word of God.
The Holy Eucharist is Jesus Christ who is really present under the forms of bread and wine. In the Eucharist, Jesus Christ gives us Himself as a food for our souls. The bread and wine becomes the Body and Blood of our Lord during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass when the priest says words of consecration which Jesus used during the Last Supper: This is My Body… This is My Blood… (Catechism of the PNCC)
