Jesus said: “I am the living bread that came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live forever; …he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life and … abides in me, and I in him.” (John 6:51, 54, 56).
Catholics believe the Eucharist, or Communion, is both a sacrifice and a meal. We believe in the real presence of Jesus, who died for our sins. As we receive Christ's Body and Blood, we also are nourished spiritually and brought closer to God.
School-aged youth who would like to receive the sacrament of First Communion can contact our Religious Education Director: Ann Roberge, at aroberge@sha.net or call the Parish Office at 989-772-1385.
