Sacraments

Baptism
Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit (vitae spiritualis ianua), and the door which gives access to the other sacraments.
Eucharist
Children must have sufficient knowledge and preparation to receive Holy Communion with faith and devotion, understanding the mystery of Christ according to their capacity.
Confirmation
Confirmation is the sacrament by which Catholics receive a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Through Confirmation, the Holy Spirit gives them the increased ability to practice their Catholic faith.
Marriage
Is a covenant, which is more than a contract. Covenant always expresses a relationship between persons. The marriage covenant refers to the relationship between the husband and wife, a permanent union.
Penance
This Sacrament allows us to do acts of penance for our sins as a way of deepening our conversion and turning away from the sins we confess.

By receiving this Sacrament, we are not only reconciled to God, we are also reconciled to the other members of the Church.
Anointing of Sick
The anointing of the sick is administered to bring spiritual and even physical strength during an illness, especially near the time of death.
Holy Order
From Scripture we learn that the Apostles appointed others by an external rite (imposition of hands), conferring inward grace. The fact that grace is ascribed immediately to the external rite, shows that Christ must have thus ordained.
