Communion
The sacrament of communion is usually celebrated on the first Sunday of
each month. By sacrament we simply mean a symbolic action, or ritual,
by which people of faith encounter the presence and goodness of God.
Communion, known alternatively as The Lord’s Supper, Eucharist, Holy
Communion, commemorates the last meal Jesus shared with his disciples
in which he assured them he would be with them always in the breaking
of bread and the sharing of a common cup. When we gather at the table
we share a small piece of bread and a taste of juice as a way of
remembering the mystery of the Christ presence.
