The Lord's Supper
The Lord's Supper
We celebrate the Sacrament of Holy Communion at every Sunday Mass. All are welcome to receive the Lord’s Body and Blood who are baptized and believe that Jesus Christ, crucified and risen, is truly present in, with, and under the forms of bread and wine for the forgiveness of sins, life and salvation.
For the duration of the pandemic, distribution of the Sacrament will be by individual wafers and individual cups.
