SACRAMENTS

SACRAMENTS

An outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace given unto us, ordained by Christ himself, as a means whereby we receive the same, and a pledge to assure us thereof.

The Catholic Church teach that the sacraments are seven. The Catholic Church understands the word “sacrament” as referring not only to the seven sacraments considered here, but also to Christ and the Church.

BAPTISM

Baptism is normally the first sacrament that one receives. This is a sacrament that welcomes you into the Catholic Church

RECONCILIATION

The basic requirement for a good confession is to have the intention of returning to God like the "prodigal son" and to acknowledge our sins with true sorrow before the priest

FIRST HOLY COMMUNION

First Holy Communion is one of our three sacraments of initiation. It is through these sacraments of initiation that we become full members of the Church

CONFIRMATION

Confirmation means accepting responsibility for your faith and your destiny. The focus is on the Holy Spirit, who confirmed the apostles on Pentecost and gave them courage to practice their faith

MATRIMONY

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh? So that they are no more two, but one flesh

ANOINTING OF THE SICK

For requests for prayers, visitation and/or Communion for the sick or housebound is available upon request
