The Sacraments are an invitation to full participation in the life of Christ.

Sacraments of Initiation

Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist welcome us into the Church. Baptism means a new birth in which we share in a new life that frees us from original sin. The celebration of Confirmation confirms this new life through the Holy Spirit. The Eucharist strengthens and nourishes us with Jesus' Body and Blood.

Sacraments of Healing

Reconciliation and Anointing of the Sick are known as Sacraments of Healing. Through the sacrament of Reconciliation we experience God's loving forgiveness. We are reunited with God and reconciled with our brothers and sisters in the Church. When members of the Church are ill, the Church prays that they may be healed and their faith strengthened in the Anointing of the Sick.

Sacraments of Service

Matrimony and Holy Orders are the two Sacraments of Service. Matrimony celebrates the union of a man and woman where the community is a witness to their vows. Holy Orders celebrate the ordaining of bishops, priest and deacons who serve a God's ministers to our community.

These sacraments are ways that help us grow in holiness, build up the Body of Christ, and give worship to God.
