The Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life. The term “Eucharist” originates from the Greek word eucharistia, meaning thanksgiving.
In the celebration of the Eucharist, bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit and the instrumentality of the priest. The whole Christ is truly present -- body, blood, soul, and divinity -- under the appearances of bread and wine, the glorified Christ who rose from the dead. This is what the Church means when she speaks of the "Real Presence" of Christ in the Eucharist.
Eucharistic Devotion
Our parish is attentive to the call of Christ to follow Him as disciples. We respond with hearts open to His Word, eager to follow His example, and ready to spread His message to a world in such great need. In order to accomplish this, we draw near our Divine Teacher for light and grace.
At St. Philip, we have the opportunity to spend time in solemn Eucharistic Adoration every Thursday, following morning Mass. Currently, the Blessed Sacrament is exposed from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. If you would like to sign up as a weekly adorer, please consider Joining Us each week.
It is our deep desire to increase our time in adoration but we can only do so if we have willing participants from our parish family to do so. Please prayerfully consider this call.
