The service of Holy Eucharist, also known as Communion or Mass, is the most important celebration of the Christian church. "Rite I" is the version of the liturgy that most closely follows the traditional language used in the Episcopal church and other Anglican churches for many generations in older versions of the Book of Common Prayer. Rite I was created in the Book of Common Prayer published in 1979.

The 8am Holy Eucharist celebrated at St. John's is a quiet and contemplative service without music using Rite I liturgy from today's prayer book.
