Holy Sacraments
The sacraments are essential to the life of a Catholic—they are visible signs of God's invisible grace, instituted by Christ to nourish, strengthen, and guide us on our spiritual journey. Each sacrament marks a key moment in our relationship with God, from initiation and healing to vocation and daily sustenance in faith. Together, they form a path that draws us closer to Christ, deepens our connection to the Church, and empowers us to live out our faith with purpose and love.
