Catholic sacraments are ceremonies that point to what
is sacred, significant, and important for Christians. They are highly
symbolic rituals that are grounded in our religious history, celebrate
what God is accomplishing now, and point to our hopes for our future. They
are, in short, celebrations of Christian tradition, Christian life, and of
Christian hope.
Baptism -
Baptism signifies our immersion in the
Christian life and marks our spiritual rebirth in the Church. (To
schedule a baptism)
Confirmation -
Confirmation seals our Baptism
and confirms our commitment both to the Church and to the work of Christ
in the world.
Holy Eucharist
- Eucharist celebrates our life together as a community, the presence
of Christ in our midst, the Word that is proclaimed and explained, and
many dimensions of the paschal mystery of death and rebirth. We celebrate
our unity with Christ in communion and service.
Reconciliation
- Reconciliation celebrates
and reminds us of God's mercy and helps us to experience divine
forgiveness, to forgive ourselves and to become reconciled with others. (The schedule for the sacrament of reconciliation)
Anointing of the Sick - Anointing of the sick
celebrates and reminds us of God's compassion and helps us to experience
spiritual - and sometimes physical - strengthening when we are ill.
