Baptism, Holy Communion & Confirmation
The three foundational sacraments establishing our life in Christ and the Holy Spirit.
Holy Baptism
“The gateway to life in the Spirit and the door to the Church”
Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, freeing us from sin and rebirth as children of God. We welcome infants, children, and adults into the Body of Christ.
First Holy Communion
“Receiving the Bread of Life and the Cup of Eternal Salvation”
The Holy Eucharist is the source and summit of Christian life. Children typically receive First Communion in the 2nd grade after a two-year preparation in Sunday School or Catholic academy.
Sacrament of Confirmation
“Strengthened by the Holy Spirit to witness Christ in the world”
Confirmation seals the candidate with the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit, completing the initiation begun in Baptism. For teens (8th/9th grade) and adults via RCIA.
Matrimony, Reconciliation & Anointing
Sacraments offering divine forgiveness, healing in weakness, and holy marriage covenant.
Reconciliation (Confession)
“Experiencing the mercy, forgiveness, and peace of Christ”
Through Confession, we receive God's infinite mercy, absolving sins committed after baptism and restoring communion with God and the Church.
Anointing of the Sick
“Divine comfort, spiritual healing, and strength in illness”
Conferred upon those who are seriously ill, undergoing major surgery, or experiencing the frailty of advanced age. It provides courage, peace, and spiritual fortification.
Holy Matrimony (Marriage)
“A holy covenant of love, fidelity, and mutual sanctification”
Marriage is a sacrament uniting a baptized man and woman in an unbreakable lifelong covenant reflecting Christ's love for His Church.
Holy Orders & Religious Life
“Called by Christ to shepherd, preach, and sanctify”
The continuation of Christ's priesthood through the orders of Episcopate, Presbyterate, and Diaconate, as well as consecrated religious life.
