Sacrament of Eucharist

ABOUT THE SACRAMENT
Catholics believe the Holy Eucharist is both a sacrifice and a meal. We believe in the real presence of Jesus – that Christ is truly the body and blood of the Eucharist. As we receive Christ’s Body and Blood, we are nourished spiritually and brought closer to God.

EUCHARISTIC ADORATION
Eucharistic Adoration is the adoration of Jesus Christ present in the Holy Eucharist. In most cases, a special holder called a monstrance displays the Eucharist, and people come to pray and worship Jesus continually throughout the day and night

Our parish exposes the Blessed Sacrament each week beginning on Tuesday from 7:45 AM until Wednesday at 4:00 PM. If you would like to commit to spending one hour per week in adoration, please call Tom Meyers at (337) 962-6085 for available time slots.

FIRST RECONCILIATION / FIRST COMMUNION
This program is for students beginning their 2^nd grade year in public, private, homeschool, and Catholic school on Sundays after the 10 a.m. Mass (11 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.). The parish requires a baptismal certificate, as well as a fee to cover the cost of books.

The Program will start in September, with First Communion in April 2026.
