The Seven Sacraments of the Catholic Church

The sacraments are God’s loving touch in our lives -- moments where Christ meets us personally, strengthens us, heals us, and invites us deeper into His heart.  They accompany us from our first steps in faith to the commitments we make as adults, reminding us that God walks with us always.

The Church groups the sacraments into three pathways of grace:

Sacraments of Initiation

Baptism • Eucharist • Confirmation
These welcome us into God’s family and help us grow in faith.

Sacraments of Healing

Reconciliation • Anointing of the Sick
These bring God’s mercy, comfort, and peace.

Sacraments of Service

Marriage • Holy Orders
These strengthen individuals to serve God and His people.​
