DEAR PADRE

CAN THE EUCHARIST BE CELEBRATED OUTSIDE OF A CHURCH-FOR
EXAMPLE, INSIDE MY HOME?

What an interesting question. The earliest celebrations of the Eucharist
were held in the homes of the early Christians. As centuries evolved and the
Christian population grew, larger rooms were rented and later built to
house the community gathering. The word church is what we now call a
building in which people worship. If we were to be completely accurate, we
would call the building the house or shelter for the Church because the
Church is understood primarily as the baptized community living in faith
and charity.

         Unfortunately, because of changing demographics and priest
shortages, many communities are consolidating and church buildings are
being shut down and even destroyed. As a result, communities and places
for liturgy grow larger. Large communities can easily become impersonal
and pastoral leadership increasingly dif!icult.

        Recently, some large parishes have developed neighborhood               Words From Pope Francis
communities in an attempt to subdivide into smaller faith-sharing units-not
unlike the original house churches. These smaller communities gather for                        Jesus does not want
regular prayer and catechesis. The parish priest occasionally attends their                     disciples who are
meetings and celebrates the Eucharist with them. This is one example of                         merely able to repeat
