The holy Eucharist completes Christian initiation.  Those who have been raised to the dignity of the royal priesthood by Baptism and configured more deeply to Christ by Confirmation participate with the whole community in the Lord's own sacrifice by means of the Eucharist.  CCC1322

Refer to the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) paragraphs 1322-1419 for more detailed information on this sacrament.
