Eucharist

Join Us for Mass and Experience God's Grace

We are filled with joy and gratitude as we extend our warmest welcome to all those who wish to join us for Mass at our Holy Rosary or St. Thomas More campus. The incredible privilege of gathering as a community in communion with one another is a true blessing, as we come together as a spiritual family to worship, learn, and grow in faith.


At the heart of our Catholic faith, lies the Eucharist. “The Eucharist is the heart and summit of the Church’s life, for in it Christ associates his Church and all her members with his sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving offered once for all on the cross to his Father; by this sacrifice he pours out the graces of salvation on his Body which is the Church.” Catechism of the Catholic Church #1407


In the Eucharist, we receive the true presence of Jesus, body, blood, soul, and divinity. It is not merely a symbol or a representation, but a profound moment of union with our Lord. As we partake in the Eucharistic meal, we are united with Christ and with one another in a unique and transformative way.


It is through this sacrament of the Eucharist that we find solace and strength, forgiveness and reconciliation, healing and renewal. It is a fountain of divine grace that flows abundantly, inviting us to draw near, to open our hearts, and to receive all that God desires to offer us. The Eucharist is a tangible expression of God's unconditional love and mercy, a gift that surpasses all understanding.


We encourage you, dear brothers and sisters, to embrace the wonderful opportunity to frequently receive the sacrament of the Eucharist. Approach the altar with faith and humility, allowing yourself to be nourished and transformed by the very essence of Jesus Christ. Through this sacred act, you will not only deepen your personal relationship with Him, but also strengthen the bond of unity within our faith community.


Let us remember that the Eucharist is not a private devotion but a communal celebration. It is a feast where we all gather around the table of the Lord, regardless of our differences and struggles. In the Eucharist, we are reminded that we are one Body in Christ, called to love and support one another, to share in each other's joys and sorrows, and to break down the barriers that separate us.


As we prepare to celebrate Mass together, let us open our hearts to this profound mystery and embrace the invitation to encounter Christ in the Eucharist.

“Jesus took bread, blessed, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” And he took the chalice and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you; for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many…” Matthew 26:26-29
