Christ instituted the sacraments of the new law. There are seven: Baptism, Confirmation (or Chrismation), the Eucharist, Penance, the Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders and Matrimony. the seven sacraments touch all the stages and all the important moments of Christian life:1 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.
Cathechism of the Catholic Church , 1210
The seven sacraments can be drawn together in three categories:
- Sacraments of Initiation - Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Eucharist
- Sacraments of Healing - Reconciliation and Anointing of the Sick
- Sacraments of Vocation - Marriage and Holy Orders
For adults, Sacraments of Initiation are to be celebrated at the same time at the Easter Vigil. The preparation and celebration of these sacraments is known as the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. If you are interested in becoming Catholic, we can help you.

MASS ATTENDANCE
Many parents have asked about Mass Attendance for children preparing for Sacraments this school year. The “Sunday Obligation” is that all baptized Catholics should attend Mass every Sunday. When a student is preparing to receive a sacrament, we will check to see if they are attending Mass. We will be notified you in the Open House with more information regarding Mass Attendance.
LA ASISTENCIA A MISA
Muchos padres han preguntado acerca de la asistencia a la Misa para los niños que se preparan para los sacramentos este año escolar. La "Obligación dominical" es que todos los católicos bautizados asistan a Misa todos los domingos. Cuando un estudiante se está preparando para recibir uno de los sacramentos, verificaremos si asisten a la Misa. Se le notificará en la Reunión de Open house con mas detalles sobre la asistencia a Misa .
