The Sacrament of the Eucharist
The holy Eucharist is the second sacrament of initiation. Those who have been baptized and received the Sacrament of Reconciliation 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. Saint John Paul II Parish’s First Eucharist Formation occurs during the Fall and Winter time frames, and then concludes in the Spring with the candidates making their First Communion.
