Eucharist

Celebration of the Eucharist at St. John the Baptist occurs on the following days:
Saturday Vigil: 4:30 PM
Sunday: 7:30, 9:00 and 11:00 AM
Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday: 8:00 AM
Friday: 8:00 AM with Adoration until 11:30 AM

The Sacrament of Holy Communion is the third of the Sacraments of Initiation. Even though we are required to receive Communion at least once per year (our Easter Duty), and the Church urges us to receive Communion frequently (even daily, if possible), it is called a sacrament of initiation because, like Baptism and Confirmation, it brings us into the fullness of our life in Christ.
