What is the Mass?
As Catholics, we celebrate the Eucharist during the liturgy of the Mass. The Eucharist is the sum and summary of our faith. (CCC 1327)
The Sunday celebration of the Lord's Day and the Eucharist is at the heart of the Church's life. "Sunday is the day on which the paschal mystery is celebrated in light of the apostolic tradition and is to be observed as the foremost holy day of obligation in the universal Church." (CCC 2177)

Who Can Attend Mass?
EVERYONE!
If you are a practicing Catholic, a Catholic who has not come to Mass in years, if you are not Catholic, or if you are not even Christian, we invite you to come celebrate Mass with us.
Come! Come find out what we believe and how we live our Faith! Come join in the praise of God with us! Come!
Because we believe that the Eucharist is truly the body and blood of Christ, and therefore sacred, only those who have
1) made their First Communion in a Catholic Church and 2) are not in a state of sin should recieve Holy Communion. (Guidelines for the Reception of Communion)
If you do not meet either of these criteria, we still encourage you to attend and participate in Mass without recieving the Eucharist.
