Our Sacraments

What are the 7 Sacraments?

The seven sacraments include Baptism, Confirmation, the Eucharist, also known as Communion, Reconciliation (or Penance), the Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders and Matrimony.  Sacraments are sacred rituals of the Church through which God is present.  In the Sacraments, words, actions and symbols are used to communicate God’s presence and action.

How can I get involved?

We offer programs for infants and families, school-aged children and youth, and couples and adults to prepare for the celebration of the Sacraments. Some Sacraments are received just once in a lifetime, while other Sacraments are celebrated in our parish communities daily.
