The Eucharist (bread and wine), after transubstantiation (see last paragraph for explanation), in the Catholic Church founded by Jesus Christ, is not a memorial or a symbol as it is in other Christian denominations, but the real body and blood of Jesus Christ who Himself stated at The Last Supper (John 6:51): "I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."
In the Catholic Church, we have a program by the name of RCIA which either instructs you more about the faith and/or prepares you for Baptism and the other sacraments, including the Holy Eucharist.
About transubstantiation:
Paragraph 1376 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church(CCC) states,
The Council of Trent summarizes the Catholic faith by declaring: "Because Christ our Redeemer said that it was truly his body that he was offering under the species of bread, it has always been the conviction of the Church of God, and this holy Council now declares again, that by the consecration of the bread and wine there takes place a change of the whole substance of the bread into the substance of the body of Christ our Lord and of the whole substance of the wine into the substance of his blood. This change the holy Catholic Church has fittingly and properly called transubstantiation (CCC, 1376).
