Eucharist / Holy Communion

The Eucharist is the source and summit of our Faith. As Catholics, we have the great blessing to receive our Lord, Jesus Christ fully (body, blood, soul and divinity) every time we celebrate Holy Mass here at St. Joseph Parish / Old Mission San Jose.

First Holy Communion

Please see the Faith Formation page for information about preparing for First Holy Communion.

Adults seeking to enter the Church fully and receive Holy Communion (the Eucharist) should click here for our RCIA program (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults).

Holy Communion to the Sick and Homebound

Please click here to learn how you can help in bringing the Blessed Sacrament to the sick and homebound of the Parish or to request someone to bring it to you or a loved one.

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament

You may join fellow adorers every Thursday before the First Friday of each month for Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. It begins after the 8:00 AM Mass and concludes with Evening Prayer / Benediction at 5:00 PM. Whether it's for 5 minutes or 3 hours, feel free to join us in spending some time before Our Lord Jesus Christ.
