Sacrament Preparation

Sacraments of Initiation

The sacraments of initiation usher a person into the life of the Church. There are three sacraments of initiation: Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist. Adults interested in becoming Catholic are fully initiated into the Church, receiving all three sacraments at once. Children receive these at different times in their lives.

Eucharist
Coming to the Lord's Table. 

Confirmation

Sacraments of Healing

Reconciliation
A Christian is to be reconciled with God and the community through the sacrament of reconciliation.

Anointing of the Sick

Sacraments of Vocation

Marriage
The love between a man and a woman is a gift and a calling from God.

Holy Orders
