Eucharist

Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity

In the Eucharist, through the power of the Holy Spirit, the bread and wine that are brought to the altar become truly Jesus Christ in the flesh.

"Jesus said to them, 'Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him." John 6:53-56

First Holy Communion

Preparation of children for the Sacrament of First Communion generally begins when children are in first grade and concludes in May of their second grade year. Preparation involves the child’s ongoing participation in the parish Family Faith Formation program or attendance at St. Norbert Catholic School. 
Open registration is now closed. If you are interested in faith formation classes for the 2020-21 academic year, please email JoEllen Cattapan at joellen@northbrookcatholic.church. ​

Eucharistic Adoration

Picture
On the first Wednesday of every month, as well as every Wednesday during Lent, exposition and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament takes place at St. Norbert. This can be a beautiful way to spend time with the Lord and speak to Him heart to heart.
