Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit, and the door which gives access to the other Sacraments. Baptism frees us from sin and we are reborn as precious sons and daughters of God (Catechism of the Catholic Church 1213)

This is the greatest gift we have. God is giving Himself as a Gift in the Eucharist (Holy Communion): Jesus Himself. One must be properly disposed to receive this gift of the Holy Eucharist.

For those that are already baptized, but have not received the Sacrament of Confirmation. Confirmation is one of the 3 Sacraments of Initiation that allows us into the fullness of the Catholic Faith.

This Sacrament keeps us pure and clean when receiving Holy Communion. A Catholic must never be in the state of mortal sin when receiving Holy Communion. The Sacrament of Confession is God’s tangible way of keeping us clean from mortal and venial sin so that we can flourish fruitfully in God’s love.

Set aside some quiet time for reflection on your sins. Please read through the Examination of Conscience sheet that may help you to discern your sins.

“Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders [presbyters] of the Church and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer of faith will save the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.” Tradition has recognized in this rite one of the seven Sacraments, Anointing of the Sick. (Catechism of the Catholic Church  1510)

The matrimonial covenant, by which a man and a woman establish between themselves a partnership of the whole of life, is by its nature ordered toward the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of offspring. (Catechism of the Catholic Church 1601)

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:  Bishop, Priesthood, Deaconate. They are servants of the Sacraments.
