Sacraments
"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them
in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.”
Matthew 28:19
What are the Sacraments of the Catholic Church?
Baptism
Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as sons of God; we become
members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission:
“Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water in the word.

Confirmation
For “by the sacrament of Confirmation, [the baptized] are more bound to the Church
and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. Hence they are, as true
withnesses of Christ, more strictly to spread and defend the faith by word and deed.”

Eucharist
The Holy Eucharist completes Christian initiation. Those who have been raised to the
dignity of the royal priesthoold by Baptism and configuredmore deeply to Christ by
Confirmation participate with the whole community in the Lord’s own sacrifice by means
of the Eucharist.
At the last Supper, on the night he was betrayed, our Savior instituted the Eucharistic
sacrifice of his Body and Blood. This he did in order to perpetuate the sacrifice of the
cross throughout the ages until he should come again, and so the entrust to his
beloved Spouse, the Church, a memorial of his death and resurrection: a sacrament of
love, a sign of unity, a bond of charity, a pashchal banquet in which Christ is
comsumed, the mind is filled with grace, and a pledge of future glory is given to us.

Reconciliation
Are all of our sins -past, present, and future -forgiven once and for all when we become
Christians? Not according to the Bible or the early Church Fathers. Scripture nowhere
states that our future sins are forgiven; instead, it teaches us to pray, “And forgive us
our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors” (Matt. 6:12).
The means by which God forgives sins after baptism is confession: “If we confess our
sins, he is faithful and just, and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all
unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). Minor or venial sins can be confessed directly to God,
but for grave or mortal sins, which crush the spiritual life out of the soul, God has
institued a different means for obtaining forgiveness -the sacrament known popularly as
confession, penance, or reconciliation.
Confessions: Every Saturday from 4:00 PM - 4:45 PM
Matrimony
“The matrimonial covenant, by which a man and a woman establish between
themselves a patnership of the whole of life, is by its nature ordered toward the good of
the spouses and the procreation and education of offsprings; this covenant between
baptized persons has been raised by Christ the Lord to the dignity of a sacrament.”

Holy Orders
Holy orders is the sacrament through which the mission entrusted by Christ to his
apostles continues to be exercised in the Church until the end of time; thus it is the
sacrament of apostolic ministry. It includes three degrees: episcopate, prebyterate, and
diaconate.

“We are empowered to be a sign of God’s love
in our families, neighborhood, and society.”
