“The Eucharist is ‘the source and summit of the Christian life.’ ‘The other sacraments, and indeed all ecclesiastical ministries and works of the apostolate, are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented toward it.” Catechism of the Catholic Church #1324

As Catholics, we believe the Eucharist is the real presence of Jesus Christ.  Bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Christ through the Holy Spirit as Jesus promised to His disciples.  The Eucharist is our spiritual food which provides strength for our journey.   If you or your loved one is homebound, in a nursing home, or in the hospital and would like to receive Communion, please contact the Parish Office at (586) 777-9116.
