Sacrament of Baptism
The Sacrament of Baptism is the first step in a lifelong journey of commitment and discipleship.  Whether we are baptised as infants or adults, Baptism is the Church’s way of celebrating and enacting the embrace of God.

Sacrament of the Eucharist
The Eucharist (or Communion) is both a sacrifice and a meal.  We believe in the real presence of Jesus, who died for our sins.  As we receive Christ’s body and blood, we also are nourished spiritually and brought closer to God.

Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession)
The Sacrament of Reconciliation (also known as the Sacrament of Confession or Penance)  has three elements: conversion, confession and celebration.  In it we find God’s unconditional forgiveness, and as a result we are called to forgive others.

Sacrament of Confirmation
Confirmation is a Catholic Sacrament of mature Christian commitment and a deepening of baptismal gifts.  Like Baptism and Eucharist, it is a Sacrament of Initiation for Catholics and a Sacrament of Faith in God’s infidelity to us.

Sacrament of Marriage
For Catholics, the Sacrament of Marriage, or Holy Matrimony, is a public sign that one gives oneself totally to this other person.  It is also a public statement about God: the loving union of husband and wife, speaks of family values and also God’s values.

Sacrament of Holy Orders
In the Sacrament of Holy Orders, or ordination, the priest being ordained vows to lead other Catholics by bringing them the Sacraments (especially the Eucharist), by proclaiming the Gospel, and by providing other means to holiness.

Sacrament of Anointing Of The Sick (Last Rites)
The Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, formerly known as Last Rites, or Extreme Unction, is a ritual of healing, appropriate not only for physical but also for mental and spiritual sickness.
