Eucharist

Through the sacrament of Eucharist, we gather to partake of the Body and Blood of Christ and to be strengthened to better live as the Body of Christ in our world.

Referring to the Body of Christ, St. Augustine admonished, "Become what you receive." When we gather for the eucharistic liturgy (commonly called "Mass"), we are strengthened by God's Word and the sacrament of Eucharist. This sacrament is also a visible sign of our unity—saints and sinners that we are—with Christ.

Though most frequently celebrated on Sunday mornings, the eucharistic liturgy can be celebrated by a bishop or priest at any time, anywhere, and for any intention. Anyone can be admitted to the sacrament of the Eucharist, and no one is to be barred in this respect.

At Holy Family, we host a communal celebration on the fourth Sunday of each month for those who would like to receive the sacrament of Eucharist for the first time (i.e., for those who would like to receive their "First Communion"). We are also happy to arrange private celebrations of the sacrament at a time and place most convenient for you and your family. To register for a First Communion, please visit our parish office (9322 FM 812, 78719). Our parish office is always open on Sundays, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
