What is the Eucharist and why can’t I receive it?

The Eucharist (Holy Communion) is the Body and Blood of Christ, offered during a Catholic Mass. It is reserved for practicing Catholics in good standing with the Church.

We ask that you kindly respect the Church's beliefs throughout the ceremony and encourage as much participation as comfortable.
