Sacraments

Overview of the 7 Sacraments

Sacraments are holy, visible signs instituted by Christ of an invisible reality, in which Christians can experience the healing, forgiving, nourishing, strengthening presence of God. Another way is to say that the sacraments are special encounters where we meet Jesus.

The Catholic church celebrates seven sacraments. The sacraments are gathered into 3 groups per their purpose. There are sacraments of initiation, which introduce us into the faith, there are sacraments of healing and there are sacraments of communion and mission.
