Sacraments
The Catholic sacraments are gifts that are grounded in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ and have been defined over time through the wisdom and experience of the Church. By the power of the Holy Spirit, and through the essential actions of the sacraments, Jesus is present in his Church today to welcome, strengthen, nourish, heal, and empower us to live holy lives and to continue his work. The seven sacraments of the Catholic Church are Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist – sacraments of initiation, – Penance/Reconciliation and Anointing of the Sick – sacraments of healing, – and Matrimony and Holy Orders – sacraments of vocation.
