THE SEVEN SACRAMENTS

In the Sacrament of Holy Orders, or Ordination, the priest are "appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins."

Matrimony
Sacrament of Service
The Sacrament of Marriage, the matrimonial covenant, by which a man and a woman form with each other an intimate communion of life and love.

Baptism
Sacrament of Initiation
Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to the life in the Spirit and the door which gives us access to the other sacraments. Through Baptism we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made shares in her mission!

Sacraments For Teens
Sacrament for teens is a unique program for teens who have missed one or all of their sacraments. The program is open for all teens and will prepare them for missed sacraments through to Confirmation.


Reconciliation
Sacrament of Healing
The Sacrament of Reconciliation (also know as Penance) has three elements: conversion, confession and forgiveness. In it we find God's unconditional merciful love!

Holy Communion
Holy Communion is also called Eucharist (thanksgiving).Christ instituted the Eucharist as a New Covenant, as a memorial of His death and Resurrection, a pledge of His love until he comes again.

Anointing Of The Sick
Sacrament of Healing
The Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, formerly known as Last Rites or Extreme Unction, is a ritual of healing appropriate not only for physical but also for mental and spiritual sickness.

Confirmation
Sacrament of Initiation
Confirmation completes the baptismal grace, in Confirmation (the baptized) are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. They become true witnesses of Christ, more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed.
