Sacramental Life & Preparation at Saint Patrick Catholic Church
The Seven Sacraments of the Church
Christ instituted the sacraments of the new law. There are seven: Baptism, Confirmation (or Chrismation), Penance (or Reconciliation), the Eucharist, Holy Orders, Matrimony, and the Anointing of the Sick. The seven sacraments touch all the stages and all the important moments of Christian life: they give birth and increase, healing, and mission to the Christian’s life of faith. There is thus a certain resemblance between the stages of natural life and the stages of the spiritual life.
Here at St. Patrick’s, because of our size, we are blessed to be able to provide personalized sacramental preparation. Whether you are new parents or an adult seeking initiation into the Catholic faith, we have members who will accompany you along the way.
