The Catechism of the Catholic Church lists the sacraments as follows: “The whole liturgical life of the Church revolves around the Eucharistic sacrifice and the sacraments. There are seven sacraments in the Church: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Penance, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony.”[4]
The Seven Sacraments of the Church were instituted by Christ. The sacraments touch all the stages of a Christian’s life and represent milestones in a Christian’s life. The Sacraments offer a natural connection to the spiritual journey. The Sacraments can be divided up into three categories: Christian Initiation which consists of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist; the Sacraments of Healing which are Penance and Reconciliation, and Anointing of the Sick; and finally the Sacraments at the Service of Communion: Holy Orders and Matrimony.
For information on the Sacrament of Confirmation please contact the parish Director of Religious Education.
For information on the Sacrament of Marriage call the parish office and ask for Fr. Geary.
