WEEKLY SACRAMENTS
Celebration of the Holy Eucharist
Sundays 11:00 am
High Mass and Homily
Wednesdays 8:00 pm
Evening Eucharist (Low Mass)
Ministered by ordained clergy, the Celebration resembles the Western (Roman) rite. Ecclesia Gnostica practices open Communion: all who wish to receive the Holy Eucharist may do so. Sunday High Mass includes a homily by Bishop Hoeller, and is followed by coffee and refreshments. Wednesday evening Low Mass is solemn and intimate.
