Eucharist

"For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him."
John 6:55-56

“At the Last Supper, on the night he was betrayed, our Savior instituted the Eucharistic sacrifice of his Body and Blood. This he did in order to perpetuate the sacrifice of the cross throughout the ages until he should come again, and so to entrust to his beloved Spouse, the Church, a memorial of his death and resurrection: a sacrament of love, a sign of unity, a bond of charity, a Paschal banquet ‘in which Christ is consumed, the mind is filled with grace, and a pledge of future glory is given to us.’”
Catechism of the Catholic Church 1323

Notre Dame has a number of ministers who are commissioned in the name of Christ and his Church to bring the Holy Eucharist to those who are unable to be present at Mass because of sickness, infirmity or suffering. These ministers are a sign that Christ is and wants to be with the sick/homebound and draw them into conscious communion with the whole body of Christ. They are called to give personal witness to the presence of God through their outreach and visitation to the sick, elderly, homebound, dying and their caregivers.

Due to Archdiocesan COVID-19 restrictions, Eucharistic Ministers are not allowed to bring the Sacrament to the homeboud at this time.  In the case of an emergency, please call the Parish Office at 830-257-5961.
