Sacrament of Holy Eucharist

Because the Eucharist is the supreme act of worship of God the Mass is celebrated daily.  And, it is in the Eucharist that we find our strength to live the Christian faith and go forth to continue the mission of Christ in today’s world.

“The Eucharist is the source and center of the Christian life.”  In the Eucharist, we find our life, our hope and our strength and we return all of our love and thanksgiving to the Eucharist, “for in the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ himself, our Pasch.” (CCC 1324)

To receive Holy Communion, one must be a Catholic in good standing with the Church.  Children who have not yet receive their 1st Holy Communion should enter the parish Religious Education program and adults who would like to receive this or any of the other Sacraments are invited to join our R.C.I.A. program.  For more information, choose the “education” link or call our Religious Education office.

Ad Orientem

All Masses at Holy Ghost are offered “ad orientem” (toward the east).  He is not as many people misconstrue, offering Mass with his back toward the people.  But, the priest is, with the people facing the living God.  The sun rising in the east is symbolic of the Risen Christ, who will come back to us as He left.  In the words of Pope Benedict XVI, “We go to Christ, who is coming to us.”
