Attending Mass is a sacred and joyful duty for every Catholic. At Mass, we encounter the living God through His Word, the Eucharist, and the community of believers. Jesus calls us to gather in His name, for where two or three are gathered, He is present (Matthew 18:20).
The Eucharist is the source and summit of our Christian life (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1324). At Mass, we unite our hearts with Christ’s sacrifice, fulfilling His command: “Do this in memory of me” (Luke 22:19; CCC 1341). Through the Eucharist, we receive His Body and Blood, strengthening us for our journey and filling us with grace (John 6:54-56; CCC 1391-1392).
Coming to church is also an act of obedience to God’s command: “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy” (Exodus 20:8; CCC 2180). Sunday is the Lord’s Day, a time to rest in Him, give thanks, and reconnect with our faith. It is in the church community that we support one another, grow in faith, and reflect the unity of the Body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12-14; CCC 2179).
We invite you to come to Mass, where heaven touches earth and we are transformed by God’s presence and love. Let us worship together and receive the abundant grace Christ offers to each of us!
“Know, O Christian, that the Mass is the holiest act of religion. You cannot do anything to glorify God more, nor profit your soul more, than by devoutly assisting at it, and assisting as often as possible.”
