Sacraments

The seven sacraments of the Catholic Church are sacred rituals instituted by Jesus Christ to impart divine grace and guide the faithful through key moments of life. Baptism cleanses original sin and welcomes one into the Church. Confirmation strengthens the baptized with the Holy Spirit for a mature faith. The Eucharist nourishes spiritual life through the Body and Blood of Christ. Penance (or Reconciliation) offers forgiveness for sins through confession. Anointing of the Sick provides grace and comfort to those seriously ill or dying. Holy Orders ordains men as bishops, priests, or deacons to serve the Church. Matrimony unites a couple in a sacred, lifelong bond reflecting Christ’s love. Together, these sacraments foster spiritual growth and communion with God.
