Baptism

The door to the Christian life. Baptism cleanses from sin, makes us children of God, and welcomes us into the Church. Here's how to begin.

Confession

The sacrament of God's mercy. Confess your sins, receive absolution, and be reconciled to God and the Church. Here's when and how.

Eucharist

The source and summit of the Christian life. In the Eucharist, bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Christ—really, truly, substantially present.

Confirmation

Sealed with the Holy Spirit. Confirmation completes Baptism, strengthens us for mission, and calls us to be witnesses of Christ in the world.

Matrimony

A covenant of love between husband and wife, reflecting Christ's union with the Church. If you're planning a Catholic wedding, start here.

Anointing of the Sick

Healing and strength for the seriously ill. This sacrament brings Christ's presence in suffering. In an emergency, call immediately—don't wait.

Holy Orders

The sacrament through which men are ordained as deacons, priests, and bishops to serve the Church. Thinking about a vocation? Start here.

Sacraments of Initiation

Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist together form the Sacraments of Initiation, by which the faithful are fully incorporated into the Body of Christ.
