Sacrament of (First) Communion

The Body and Blood of Christ. This the real presence because it is more than a spiritual presence. The priest prays the Eucharistic prayer and the Holy Spirit changes the bread and wine into the Eucharist. The Communion tastes like bread, but it is Jesus’ own Body and Blood. Only God can do this.

The reality changes, but the appearance stays the same. The bread and wine we bring up for our offering is changed from bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ. But the Body and Blood of Christ still look and taste like bread and wine.

The Almight works through the priest when he prays the words of consecration.
“Take this, all of you, and eat of it, for this is My Body, which will be given up for you.”
These words talk about the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

You may register your child for First Communion by calling the Formation Office 270-828-8484.
Sacrament of Reconciliation

The peace of mind and soul which this sacrament imparts to us is one for which there is no substitute. It is a peace that flows from a certainty, rather than from an unsure hope, that our sins have been forgiven and that we are right with God. BeingCatholic.com

Sacrament of Confirmation

Confirmation deepens our baptismal life that calls us to be missionary witnesses of Jesus Christ in our families, neighborhoods, society, and the world. . . . We receive the message of faith in a deeper and more intensive manner with great emphasis given to the person of Jesus Christ, who asked the Father to give the Holy Spirit to the Church for building up the community in loving service.
