Holy Communion and Eucharistic Adoration
Jesus’ Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity
Behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.
THE BLESSED SACRAMENT
Holy Communion
The sacraments are the crown of the Catholic Faith, and the Eucharist is the crown of the sacraments. The God we believe in the Creeds and obey in the Commandments we meet and receive in the sacraments. In the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ himself (CCC 1324).
The Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life because Jesus Christ is truly present — body, blood, soul, and divinity. Jesus Himself told us in the Bible that the Eucharist is His Real Presence. Check out our Mass times.
I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.” The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us [his] flesh to eat?” Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you.
First Holy Communion
The second grade religious education curriculum prepares children to celebrate First Reconciliation and First Eucharist. Parents are required to attend one meeting in preparation for each sacrament. Older children who have not celebrated these sacraments are prepared privately. Arrangements for this preparation can be made by emailing the Director of Religious Education at dre@basilthegreat.org.
