On Sunday, May 16th, the Seventh Sunday of Easter, at 11 am Holy Mass we witnessed the celebration of First Holy Communion administered to five children and three adults: Jazmin Bradbury, Viviana Galindo, Amber and Parker Herrick, Veronica Murphy, David Rodriguez, Chirag and Aarti Taylor. We congratulate all of them and their families on their special day.
The new recipients of the Holy Eucharist are welcomed to participate in the life of the parish by being altar servers, lectors reading the Word of God, and being part of various parish committees.
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)
