The sacraments are not milestones we pass and move on from, they are encounters with God that shape a lifetime of faith.
Through the sacraments, God meets us in visible, tangible ways, forming us from the inside out. They anchor belief in real experience and remind us that faith is not just something we think about, but something we live, receive, and return to again and again.
In faith formation, particular attention is given to the sacraments that mark growth and maturity in the Christian life: Confirmation, which strengthens and sends us and the Eucharist, which nourishes us week after week. Along the way, Reconciliation teaches us how to return, be healed, and begin again.
These sacraments don’t simply complete a program, they form a rhythm for living the faith. They teach us who we are, who God is, and how grace continues to meet us at every stage of the journey.

Reconciliation
The Sacrament of God’s mercy, where we honestly bring our sins before the Lord and receive forgiveness and healing. Through the grace of absolution, we are restored to right relationship with God and strengthened to turn away from sin. Confession renews the heart and helps us grow in humility and holiness.
Baptism
Baptism is the gateway to the Christian life, washing away original sin and making us children of God. Through water and the Holy Spirit, we are united to Christ and welcomed into the Church. This sacrament marks the beginning of a lifelong journey of faith.

Annointing the sick
The Anointing of the Sick brings Christ’s healing presence to those who are ill, suffering, or facing serious health challenges. Through prayer and anointing with oil, the Church asks for strength, peace, and healing of body and soul. This sacrament reminds us that no one suffers alone.
If you need a priest for anointing when somebody is dying and/or funeral arrarmgemnts, please call the church office.
Holy Orders
Holy Orders consecrates men to serve the Church as deacons, priests, or bishops. Through this sacrament, they are configured to Christ in a unique way to preach the Gospel, celebrate the sacraments, and shepherd God’s people. It is a call to lifelong service and self-giving love.
