Yes.
At the Last Supper, Jesus said, “Take this bread. It is my body.” Then he said, “Take this and drink. This is my blood. Do this in memory of me.”
Catholics believe this was the First Eucharist, that through a miracle the bread and wine actually became the body and blood of Jesus Christ.
Catholics reenact the Last Supper during every Mass, where God, acting through the priest, changes the bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus Christ.
This is a great sacrament of thanksgiving and unity of Catholics.
By the way, the Orthodox, Lutheran and many Anglican Churches also believe in the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist.
For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, sections 1322 and following: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt2sect2chpt1art3.htm
With love in Christ.

Considerd the bread as the body and wine the blood, it is sybolic of the living Christ but I do not think it represents the Holy Trinity which would have to be considered in a generel statement like yours.

Not appearances. He is the Body and the Blood. After the transubstantiation there is no bread or wine but the Body and the Blood.

According to the Lutheran church the body and the blood are in and with the bread and the wine. So, it is both bread and body and it is both wine and blood.
It is not symbolic, it is true presence.
