Holy Eucharist at St John's

The Sacrament of the Eucharist

The Holy Eucharist completes Christian initiation. Those who have been raised to the dignity of the royal 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 should come 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.
Catechism of the Catholic Church 1322 & 1323

While we welcome all to worship with us, we cannot extend the Holy Eucharist to those who are not united with us in faith. People who are not of our faith and Catholics who, for whatever reason, are unable to go to Holy Communion, are encouraged to come up to Father Pete for a blessing and desire in their heart that someday they can receive the Body and Blood of the Lord.
