The sacraments are the way we focus and celebrate our life together in the Church, and grow into the Body of Christ. They are actions of Christ, celebrated by a bishop, priest or deacon, in which Jesus enters into our lives and gives grace for Christian living. They are the tangible presence of Christ made a reality for us here and now. Every Sacrament is celebrated in a particular way and has a particular effect. Below you will find a short explanation for each of the seven sacraments of the Church, along with information about their availability.
