So Jesus said to them, "Amen, Amen, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave the bread from heaven; my Father gives you the true bread from heaven…I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world." (John 6:32, 51)

The Eucharist, the living and real presence of Jesus Christ, nourishes our parish family, makes it healthy, makes it function in a loving, sacrificial spirit of unity with the entire Roman Catholic Church, making us an ever more fitting dwelling-place for the triune God. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is celebrated Monday - Friday at the St. Louis Cathedral at 12:05 p.m. Weekend Masses include the 5:00 p.m. Vigil Mass and 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. Masses on Sunday

Sacramental Preparation

The celebration of the First Communion is an exciting event in the life of a parish. The community here at St. Louis Cathedral welcomes your child as he/she joins us in receiving our Lord Jesus Christ in the sacrament of the Eucharist. If you are a parishioner and your child is in the 2nd grade please contact the Rectory Office for information on sacramental preparation.

Religious instruction is required during 1st grade in order for children to receive these sacraments in 2nd grade. Thank you for your commitment to your child's religious education.

If you have any questions, please contact the Rectory Office at (504) 525-9585.
