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.

The seven sacraments can be drawn together in three categories:
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.

Registration Information and Procedures
Step # 1: Gather Your Paperwork
Be sure that all parents and legal guardians have signed the registration forms. If your child attended classes in a different parish and will be receiving any sacraments this year, then you will need a “Transfer Letter” from that parish.
Step #2: Register Once you have gathered and completed all the documentation, then you are ready to enroll. We ask families to register
in person on registration days which will be Sundays July 16, 23 and 30 from 9 AM to 3PM on the 2nd floor Fiorenza center.
Certificates: We require that when you register you include a photocopy of your child’s Baptism Certificate (or birth certificate if the child has not been baptized yet). No registrations will be taken without a Baptism Certificate unless a copy is already on file with us at the Faith Formation Office.
Just a few quick reminders. Parents must sign their children into and out of class. Only students with a valid Texas Driver’s License AND a signed release form may sign themselves in and out of class. This is for the safety of all students.
Sólo unos recordatorios. Los padres deben de firmar al llegar y salir sus hijos de la clase. Solo los estudiantes con una licencia de conducir válida de Texas Y un formulario de liberación firmado pueden firmar al iniciar y salir de clase. Esto es por la seguridad de todos los estudiantes.
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 .
