The seven sacraments of the Catholic Church are holy signs, given to us by Jesus Christ, through which God shares His grace and love with us.

​

The Latin word sacramentum means “a sacred sign”. Each sacrament not only shows God’s grace, but truly brings that grace into our lives.

​

The sacraments help us at every step of our Christian journey. They begin our life in God’s family (Baptism), strengthen us with the Holy Spirit (Confirmation and Anointing of the Sick), feed us with Jesus Himself in Holy Communion (the Eucharist), heal us when we have sinned (Penance and Reconciliation), and prepare us for the special missions God gives to families and the Church (Matrimony and Holy Orders).

In every sacrament, it is Christ who acts through His Church, caring for us and leading us closer to Him.

When we learn more about the sacraments, we can receive them with greater love and faith, and allow God’s grace to work more deeply in our hearts.

If you would like to learn more about any of the sacraments, please speak to someone at our parish.
