Sacraments

The sacraments communicate an incarnate memory, linked to the times and places of our lives, linked to all our senses. In them the whole person is engaged as a member of a living subject and part of a network of communitarian relationships. (Pope Francis)

All the Sacraments are community celebrations. Celebrations of our membership in the Body of Christ.

  • Initiation: There are three Sacraments of Initiation – Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist.
    Together they initiate new members and provide the strength and nourishment required for Christian life to flourish.
  • Healing: There are two Sacraments of Healing – Reconciliation and Anointing of the Sick.
    They are gifts of spiritual and physical healing.
  • Service: There are two Sacraments of Service – Holy Orders and Matrimony.
    The Church celebrates these ministries of love and service.
