The Eucharist: Come to the Table, Take and Eat

Celebrate the greatest sign of Christ’s presence with us: the Eucharist.

As summarized in Vatican II, the Eucharist is “the source and summit of the Christian life” (Lumen Gentium, 11). In this concise course, you will explore the history, practice, and importance of the Eucharist. You are sure to find new insights in these lectures.
