Sacraments

The sacraments are efficacious signs of grace, instituted by Christ and entrusted to the Church, by which divine life is dispensed to us.  (Cf. Catechism of the Catholic Church, §1131)

sacraments-baptism

Baptism

Through baptism one is freed from original sin, reborn as a child of God, and is incorporated into the community of the Church.  Baptism is the first sacrament of Christian initiation.

sacraments-reconciliation

Reconciliation

We know that Jesus, when he walked this earth, forgave people’s sins over and over again. The Sacrament of Penance is God's gift to us so that any sin committed after Baptism can be forgiven.

sacraments-confirmation

Together with Baptism and the Eucharist, Confirmation forms the unity that constitutes the “sacraments of Christian Initiation.” As such, the sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace.

sacraments-annointing-of-the-sick

Anointing of the Sick

The sacrament of Anointing of the Sick is administered to bring healing – spiritual, mental, emotional and even physical – to those in need. It may also be given to those in danger of death, although Viaticum or Holy Communion is more appropriate at the time of death if the person is able to receive it.
