The Holy Eucharist is a true sacrament, instituted by Christ. Christ is really present in the Holy Eucharist, even when not being received. It is, therefore, to be honored and adored. The whole Christ is present in either kind and is received by the communicant.
For adults and youth attending a Catholic Mass, the Sacraments of Baptism, Reconciliation must have been completed to receive the Eucharist. If you are interested in receiving your sacraments through to Confirmation please contact Deacon Bob Ball about OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation for Adults).
