Sacraments

The whole liturgical life of the Church revolves around the Eucharistic sacrifice and the sacraments. (CCC 1113)

It is the intent of the church to reflect Jesus’ ministry to save, heal, nourish, and strengthen. These powers are reflected in the seven Sacraments we celebrate.

Every sacrament is never a symbol but the embodiment of God’s love. It is through our faith that God graciously and freely gives his divine life to anyone who wishes to embrace a relationship with Him.

Sacraments of Initiation

Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist

Sacraments of Healing

Reconciliation and Anointing of the Sick

Sacraments of Vocation

Holy Orders and Matrimony

The first chapter will expound the three sacraments of Christian initiation; the second, the sacraments of healing; and the third, the sacraments at the service of communion and the mission of the faithful. This order, while not the only one possible, does allow one to see that the sacraments form an organic whole in which each particular sacrament has its own vital place. In this organic whole, the Eucharist occupies a unique place as the “Sacrament of sacraments”: “all the other sacraments are ordered to it as to their end.”
CCC 1211
