Communion

Whenever people of faith gather to break bread together, remembering the last meal Jesus shared with his loved ones before his arrest, trial and execution, communion takes place.

We are called to take and eat, to remember the story of Jesus, and the gospel he shared. We do this with familiar symbols: bread, cups, juice or wine.

We do this with familiar words. With familiar tastes and smells.

More than anything, people learn about communion by doing or sharing in it. But, for those who want to take some time to explore this sacrament with their families, here are some suggestions for you.
