Sacraments at our Parish

The origin and foundation of Christian Baptism is Jesus. 

In Baptism, the Holy Spirit moves us to answer Christ's call to holiness and  walk by the light of Christ and to trust in his wisdom.

Not only does it free us from our sins but it also challenges us to have the same kind of compassion and forgiveness for those who sin against us. 

Jesus entrusted the ministry of reconciliation to the Church. The Sacrament of Penance is God's gift to us so that any sin committed after Baptism can be forgiven. With absolution, we are reconciled to God and the Church.

The Eucharist in the Catholic Church is a sacrament celebrated as "the source and summit" of the Christian life. The Eucharist is celebrated daily during the celebration of Mass, the eucharistic liturgy.

Confirmation deepens our baptismal life that calls us to be missionary witnesses of Jesus Christ. We receive the message of faith in a deeper and more intensive manner with great emphasis given to the person of Jesus Christ, who asked the Father to give the Holy Spirit to the Church for building up the community in loving service.

The Sacrament of Marriage is a covenant, which is more than a contract.  The marriage covenant refers to the relationship between the husband and wife, a permanent union of persons capable of knowing and loving each other and God. The celebration of marriage is also a liturgical act, appropriately held in a public liturgy at church. Catholics are urged to celebrate their marriage within the Eucharistic Liturgy.

Ordination to the priesthood is always a call and a gift from God. Christ reminded his Apostles that they needed to ask the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into the harvest. Those who seek priesthood respond generously to God's call using the words of the prophet, "Here I am, send me" (Is 6:8). This call from God can be recognized and understood from the daily signs that disclose his will to those in charge of discerning the vocation of the candidate.

Through the ministry of the priest, it is Jesus who touches the sick. The hoped-for effect, if it be God's will, the person be physically healed of illness. The primary effect of the Sacrament is a spiritual healing by which the sick person receives the Holy Spirit's gift of peace and courage to deal with the difficulties that accompany serious illness or fraility of old age.
