To be Christ to Everyone
To see Christ in Everyone
The Second Vatican Council (Vatican II) said the Eucharist is "the source and summit of the Christian life" (Lumen Gentium, 11) since the other sacraments and indeed aa aspects of the Chrisitan life and the Church's ministry "are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented towards it" (CCC 1324). In the Eucharist, we believe that the whole glorified and risen Jesus - body and blood, soul and divinity - is truly, really, and substantially present to us under the sacramental signs of bread and wine. Thus, the Holy Eucharist is the high point of our lives as Catholics and the center of our worship of God.
Here at St. Joan of Arc, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is celebrated daily (see Mass Schedule below). All are invited to join us for the greatest prayer of the Church where we are united with Christians throughout the world and of all times and participate in the great mystery of our faith, the Paschal Mystery.
We also invite you to join us for Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament each Tuesday afternoon from 3:00PM to 5:30PM whereby we can continue to worship our Eucharistic Lord outside of Mass.
