Please see our
schedule of Masses for the
times when we celebrate the Eucharist.
Often, during
our Eucharistic Celebrations, in the manner of our Small Faith Community
weekday gatherings, we invite our parishioners to share their faith
journey and to break open the Word of God. We are able to share
with each other how God is working in our lives and how our Sunday
gathering is closely linked to our daily lives. Come and experience
our Faith Sharing. You will not be bored, you will not be the same
again.
Eucharist (often
called the Mass) originated with Jesus' celebration of his last meal
with his disciples (Mark 14:12-26) and with the weekly meal early
Christians shared in memory of Jesus (1 Corinthians 11:17-34). As
the Christian communities grew larger, Church leaders decided to simplify
the meal: they shared only the eucharistic bread and wine and added
Scripture readings and preaching to inspire and instruct people in
their faith. Today the Eucharist assembles Christians together as
a faith community and celebrates the presence of Christ among them.
