Communion

The holy Eucharist completes Christian initiation. Those who have been raised to the dignity of the royal priesthood by Baptism and configured more deeply to Christ by Confirmation participate with the whole community in the Lord’s own sacrifice by means of the Eucharist.”

Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1322

Having become a child of God (through Baptism), the person is admitted “to the marriage supper of the Lamb” (Rev. 19:9) and receives the food of the new life, the body and blood of Christ.

The Restored Order

The Archdiocese of Denver has begun the deliberate process of restoring the order of the sacraments of initiation to their proper theological and historical order (following Baptism, Reconciliation in second grade, Confirmation and Eucharist in third grade).
