The Sacrament of the Eucharist is the source and summit and life of the Catholic Church, as well as the sacrament of unity among Christ, its head, and his members. Through the invocation of the Holy Spirit and Christ’s words of Institution, bread and wine become the sacramental Body and Blood of Jesus Christ.

This sacrament is seen as the culmination of the Sacraments of Initiation, although for various reasons, the reception of the Sacrament of Confirmation for youth has been moved to the age of adolescence.  Children who are baptized in the Catholic faith typically receive First Holy Communion around the age of reason (7 years old).
