Sacraments

Our Sacramental Programme

  • One of the ways the Church lives as the Body of Christ is through the special rituals we call the Seven Sacraments. Each sacrament is a visible sign of the hidden mystery of God’s love.
  • In the Sacraments Jesus acts in and through the ritual. Through the work of the Holy Spirit, the transforming grace of Christ’s action is gifted to those participating.
  • A Sacrament is more than a symbol of a spiritual reality: it makes the spiritual reality present as the Sacrament is celebrated.
