From A Catholic Life
From the Catechism of St. Pius X:
28 Q: Why did Jesus Christ institute the Most Holy Eucharist?
A: Jesus Christ instituted the Most Holy Eucharist for three principal reasons: (1) To be the Sacrifice of the New Law; (2) To be the food of our souls; (3) To be a perpetual memorial of His passion and death and a precious pledge both of His love for us and of eternal life.

the sacrifice of calvary is repeated at every Mass, With due respect to Dr. Hahn, it isn't repeated, it is re-presented. There is only one sacrifice; it's non-repeatable. The Mass makes the Sacrifice present to us in every age.
