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)

Baptism

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." (Matthew 28, 19)
