Is Communion the same as Eucharist?

We sometimes use 'communion' and 'Eucharist' interchangeably. There is actually a theological nuance that is worth noting. Read one of Elizabeth Harrington's great articles!

Busted Halo: Receiving Communion

This is a very good 5 minute film that provides an overview on how to receive communion. Busted Halo films are produced  by the Paulist Fathers in the US. This is a slightly irreverent take, but they never cross the line. If you feel your community need some revision on how to receive communion, this could be a fun way to achieve your goal! 
"...The Eucharist is essential for us:
​it is Christ who wishes to enter our lives and fill us with his grace..."

Liturgia:

a new way to prepare liturgy

Last month Liturgy Brisbane proudly announced the launch of our new website, loaded with resources designed to make parish life easier. Today, we continue with our 2018 digital strategy by formally announcing the launch of Liturgia, our new online digital preparation tool that will replace LabOra later this year. Liturgia comes packed with features, including a library of hymns and lyrics that can be exported to powerpoint with a click of the mouse! You will also find a library of ritual books and support materials including homily notes and scripture commentaries. Prepare any liturgy with the confidence of an expert liturgist. Click the button to find out more:
