Taking part in the Eucharistic sacrifice, which is the source and summit of the whole Christian life, the faithful offer the Divine Victim to God, and offer themselves along with It. Thus both by reason of the offering and through Holy Communion all take part in this liturgical service, not indeed, all in the same way but each in that way which is proper to himself. Strengthened in Holy Communion by the Body of Christ, they then manifest in a concrete way that unity of the people of God which is suitably signified and wondrously brought about by this most august sacrament. (Lumen Gentium, 11)

If you would like to receive the Eucharist but are unable to attend Mass due to ill health, infirmity, or advancing age, you may arrange to have Communion brought to you. Please call Deacon Najarian.
