SACRAMENTS & CHURCH SERVICES
"Catholic Church has seven Sacraments instituted by Christ: Baptism, Confirmation, the Eucharist, Penance, the Anointing of the Sick, Matrimony (Marriage) and Holy Orders.The seven sacraments touch all the stages and all the important moments of Christian life: they give birth and increase, healing and mission to the Christian's life of faith. There is thus a certain resemblance between the stages of natural life and the stages of the spiritual life." (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1210)
