The Eucharist is the Source and Summit of all that we do and are as Catholics.
The Eucharist is the visible sign of the invisible reality of Christ's Paschal Mystery, his death, burial, and resurrection.
We gather each week as Catholics to celebrate and Give thanks for the gift of God's love in and through Christ.
We go forth to proclaim that love in our homes, schools, work, and in play.
1324 The Eucharist is “the source and summit of the Christian life.” 136 “The other sacraments, and indeed all ecclesiastical ministries and works of the apostolate, are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented toward it. For in the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ himself, our Pasch.”137
1325 “The Eucharist is the efficacious sign and sublime cause of that communion in the divine life and that unity of the People of God by which the Church is kept in being. It is the culmination both of God’s action sanctifying the world in Christ and of the worship men offer to Christ and through him to the Father in the Holy Spirit.”138
