The Holy Eucharist completes Christian initiation. Those who have been raised to the dignity of the  priesthood by Baptism and configured more deeply to Christ by Confirmation participate with the whole community in the Lord's own sacrifice by means of the Eucharist.

At the Last Supper, on the night he was betrayed, our Savior instituted the Eucharistic sacrifice of his Body and Blood. This He did in order to perpetuate the sacrifice of the cross throughout the ages until he comes again, and so to entrust to his beloved Spouse, the Church, a memorial of His death and resurrection: a sacrament of love, a sign of unity, a bond of charity, a Paschal banquet in which Christ is consumed, the mind is filled with grace, and a pledge of future glory is given to us. 

The Eucharist is the heart and the summit of the Church’s life’ and the celebration always includes the Word of God, thanksgiving to God, the consecration of bread and wine and participation by the faithful in receiving the Lord’s body and blood.

Eucharistic ministers main function is to assist the pastor in the distribution of Holy Communion at Mass. Also, to bring Holy Communion to the Sick and Shut-in in their homes, in hospitals, and in nursing facilities. Yearly, a Mass for the sick is said by our Pastor.
