The Sacraments of the Roman Catholic Church exemplify the clarity of God's message of Life.

The Sacrament of Baptism brings one from the death of sin to the life of sanctifying grace. The Sacrament of Reconciliation offers one the opportunity to reclaim the life of grace lost by sinful choices. The Sacrament of the Eucharist is the food of life. The Sacrament of Confirmation is the gift of a deepened life in the Spirit. The Sacrament of Marriage is the sanctification of sexual union, making it a life-giving commitment. And the Sacrament of The Anointing of the Sick provides a path from sickness and death to healing and life, whether earthly or heavenly.

The faithful can avail of all the Church's Sacraments at A Model Parish. Detailed information on the requirements to receive the sacraments can be found on this page.
 

THE CATHOLIC SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM

Christians are born through the Sacrament of Baptism, that is, through baptism we are born as "other Christs." Christ has no body now but the baptized. The baptized are the body of Christ, the people of God, the Church.
