Sacraments

Sacraments

The sacraments are more than rituals; they are living encounters with Christ, our means of experiencing His presence and grace in our lives today.

"And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age" (Matthew 28:20).

Mass

Mass

The Mass is the highest form of prayer in the Church. We gather every Sunday as a community to worship God and to be nourished by him in the proclamation of his Word and by the reception of his body, blood, soul and divinity in the Eucharist which is the “source and summit of the Christian life.”

Funeral

Funeral

The best thing that we can offer a deceased loved one is a funeral liturgy. In the funeral we ask God to have mercy upon our loved one and we pray for one another who grieve their loss. The resurrection of Jesus Christ gives us hope that one day we will be reunited with them in the kingdom of heaven.

Sacraments

Sacraments

The seven sacraments, instituted by Christ, are the outward signs of an inward reality which impart Grace, the ability to share in the very life of God.

Baptism

Baptism

In Baptism we become a new creation in Christ by being buried with him in likeness of his death and raised in the likeness of his resurrection. Our fallen nature is cleansed and we given new identities as sons and daughters of God and heirs to eternal life in his kingdom.

Eucharist

Eucharist

The Eucharist is the body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus Christ. Staying true to his instructions to his disciples, we gather every Sunday(and even daily) to commemorate his passion, death and resurrection through the celebration of the Mass where ordinary elements of bread and wine truly become his body, blood, soul and divinity. In the Eucharist, Jesus is always present in the Church and every believer has access to him.

Confirmation

Confirmation

In Confirmation the grace we received in baptism is made complete. Through the power of the Holy Spirit we are made his witnesses in the world to spread the good news of the Gospel.

Reconciliation

Reconciliation

In the Sacrament of Reconciliation, sometimes referred to as Confession or Penance, we have access to the mercy of God. Through the priest, as representative of Christ and of the Church, God freely bestows his forgiveness and reconciles the person back into communion with the Church.

Anointing of the Sick

Anointing of the Sick

In the Anointing of the Sick those who are sick, those who are to have surgery or are recovering from surgery, and those who are elderly seek the strengthening and healing power of God. The Last Rites are a special ceremony in which someone who is near death receives the sacraments of Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick and Eucharist for the final time.

Holy Orders

Holy Orders

In Holy Orders, the mission of Christ is continually entrusted to the church through the ordained ministry. The three degrees of Holy Orders are the Diaconate exercised by deacons, the Presbyterate exercised by priests and the Episcopacy exercised by bishops. In the Sacrament of Holy Orders Jesus continues to teach, sanctify and shepherd his Church.

Matrimony

Matrimony

In Matrimony a man and a woman enter into a one flesh union that is lifelong, exclusive and open to the gift of new life. The vocation of marriage is a call to holiness and service within the context of the relationship of husband and wife and their family.
