The seven Sacraments of the Church are individual and personal encounters with Christ that “touch all the stages and all-important moments of the Christian life” (Catechism of the Catholic Church 1324 1210). They are central to our Catholic faith and crucial for us to continue growing in holiness.

The best way to learn more about a sacrament is to contact your local Catholic parish. It can help you prepare to receive the sacrament, including for the first time.
