THE SEVEN SACRAMENTS OF THE CHURCH
from the Catechism of the Catholic Church

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; 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.

There are two Sacraments of Christian Service; Marriage and Holy Orders.  Information for each is located within the menu to the left.
