SACRAMENTS
|
 |
 |
In His Word
and in the Sacraments, Christ fulfills His promise to sustain and guide
the Church through the constant presence of the Holy Spirit. Participation
in the Sacraments is essential to living and growing in our Catholic
faith. Part of our mission, as a Church and as a parish, is helping one
another to prepare for different sacraments, and celebrating them well. |

Anointing
of
the
Sick
The
Church
continues
Jesus’
healing
ministry,
and
extends
His
compassion
for
the
sick,
through
the
Sacrament
of
Anointing.

Baptism
Through
the
Sacrament
of
Baptism,
men
and
women
enter
the
family
of
God
and
the
faith
community
of
the
Church
through
the
power
of
Jesus’
death
and
resurrection.
Baptism
is
the
"gateway"
to
the
other
sacraments,
and
to
all
the
spiritual
benefits
offered
through
the
Church.

|
Confirmation
Through
the
Sacrament
of
Confirmation,
a
Catholic
receives
the
fullness
of
God’s
Holy
Spirit.
|
|
Eucharist
If there is one mystery of faith around which revolves the whole Catholic liturgy, it is the
Eucharist.
|
|
Marriage
In
the
Sacrament
of
Marriage,
a
man
and
a
woman
are
joined
in
a
permanent
covenant
of
faith
and
love
with
one
another
and
with
God.
|
|
Reconciliation
The
Sacrament
of
Reconciliation
offers
us
the
comfort
and
peace
of
God’s
forgiveness
when
we
have
sinned,
together
with
the
spiritual
strength
we
need
to
resist
temptation.
