The Seven Catholic Sacraments
The Latin word "sacramentum" means sign of the sacred. The seven sacraments are ceremonies that point to what is sacred, significant and important for Catholics. They are special occasions for experiencing
God' saving presence.
The
liturgical life of the Church revolves
around the sacraments, with the
Eucharist at the center. The
Church celebrates seven sacraments:
Baptism,
Confirmation,
Eucharist,
Penance,
Anointing of the Sick,
Holy Orders, and
Matrimony.
The
sacramental life of our parish is of
utmost importance. We take very
seriously the preparation for and
celebration of each of the sacraments
administered at Christ the King . In
these pages you will find guidelines and
specifics for the celebration of each
sacrament.
"The sacraments are
efficacious signs of grace,
instituted by Christ and entrusted
to the Church, by which divine life
is dispensed to us. The visible
rites by which the sacraments are
celebrated signify and make present
the graces proper to each sacrament.
They bear fruit in those who receive
them with the required
dispositions." (Catechism of the
Catholic Church, 1131)
