“This is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die…”

The Eucharist is the most important thing in the entire Christian life because it is Jesus himself. Many Christians today speak of “having a relationship” with Jesus, and we couldn’t agree more; Jesus loves us so much he actually desires to live physically inside us through this sacrament. As our Lord says himself: “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me and I in him.” (John 6:53-56)

At Risen Christ, the first reception of the Holy Eucharist is usually conferred to our third graders as part of the Restored Order (Reconciliation first, then Confirmation, then Eucharist). We offer sacramental preparation programs for 3rd graders, for older youth who have not yet received the sacrament of Holy Eucharist, and for adults seeking to become Catholic.
