Signing up for Holy Masses
There is no need to sign up for The Holy Sacrament of Confession
The purpose of the sacraments is to sanctify men, to build up the Body of Christ and, finally, to give worship to God. Because they are signs they also instruct. They not only presuppose faith, but by words and objects they also nourish, strengthen, and ex-press it. That is why they are called ‘sacraments of faith.' - CCC 1123

Receiving Holy Communion During the Pandemic |
Extend your left hand (or your left hand placed on top of your right hand) to receive the Sacred Host, so that, after moving 6 ft away, you can remove your mask with your right hand and then convey the Sacred Host into your mouth with your right hand. However, the most caring and reverent possibility is to lower your mask with your right hand and bring your left hand up, with the Blessed Sacrament in your palm, and take it directly into your mouth. We all want to refrain from desecrating the Consecrated Host, the body and blood of Christ, by losing or dropping even one particle. If you are wearing gloves, please remove your gloves before receiving the Holy Communion. |
The Holy Eucharist is the "source and summit of the Christian life" (LG 11, CCC 1324). We, Catholics believe in the Real Presence.
The Holy Eucharist is not a symbol or a reminder. The Holy Eucharist is Christ truly present, his Body under the form of bread, the Blessed Sacrament, and his Blood under the form of wine, the Precious Blood. It is the "Heart of the Heart of God" (Fr. Simon referencing to approved Holy Eucharistic miracles scientifically proven to be "heart tissues"). It is the sacrament in which Jesus is truly present - Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity under the appearances of bread and wine.
Preparation for Receiving Holy Communion:
Important Notice: Due to the covid-19 pandemic, our St. Lambert Parish follows the Archbishop's guidlines in receiving the Sacred Host during Communion. Please read the "Reopening Guidlines" HERE.
Please also understand that compliance is essential for our continued permission to celebrate the sacraments and to allow the volunteer crew to clean and disinfect between Masses. We appreciate your full cooperation and patience.
IMPORTANT: In the light of the recent events that happened in our parish, our pastor, Fr. Simon, instructed those who adminster the Holy Communion and appealed to our concerned parishioners to "intervene" should this norm be ignored. Someone might stop you from walking away with a Sacred Host in your hand. Please consume the Sacred Host before moving back to the pew.
Because Catholics believe that the celebration of the Holy Eucharist is a sign of the reality of the oneness of faith, life, and worship, members of those churches with whom we are not yet fully united are ordinarily NOT admitted to Holy Communion. You may stay seated in the pews and may not approach the altar.
Those Who will not Receive the Holy Communion:
All who are not receiving Holy Communion are encouraged to express in their hearts a prayerful desire for unity with the Lord Jesus and with one another.
We welcome to St. Lambert Parish and to the celebration of the Holy Scarifice of the Mass those who do not share our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. While we CANNOT admit them to Holy Communion, we ask them to offer their prayers for the peace and the unity of the human family.
Listen to Fr. Simon's homily on Real Presence and reverence to the Eucharist. HERE
