Sacraments

From baptism through the anointing of the sick, Christ is present every time each sacrament is celebrated..

The Seven Sacraments

The sacraments are Christ’s own gift that provide us with His grace. They are the divine helps which God gave us to enable us to believe the truths of His faith, live according to His moral code and grow in His gift of divine life.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) affirms that “the seven sacraments touch all the stages and all the important moments in Christian life. They give birth and increase healing and mission to the Christian’s life of faith.”
