"The sacraments, instituted by Christ and entrusted to the Church, are efficacious signs of grace perceptible to the senses. Through them divine life is bestowed upon us. There are seven sacraments: Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Eucharist, Penance, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony. ... 'What was visible in our Savior has passed over into his mysteries.' (Saint Leo the Great)" #224, Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church
In Catholicism, there are seven sacraments that sanctify, teach, strengthen, and express faith. These sacraments are for every stage of life and they are each crucial to the Catholic faith. We encourage you to join our parish community and come to know God more fully by celebrating these sacraments with us!
Every Sacrament page has an excerpt from the online edition of the Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which is an official summary of the rich Catechism of the Catholic Church. The numbers on these pages are the question numbers found in the Compendium. If you click on the link to the Compendium, you can find fantastic summaries of different aspects about Jesus, His Church and our Catholic faith.
In the menu to the left, you will see a list of sacraments. Simply click to learn how you can celebrate the sacraments here at Holy Spirit!
