There are seven sacraments in the Catholic Church: Baptism, Confession, Eucharist, Confirmation, Matrimony, Holy Orders, and the Anointing of the Sick.

The sacraments are defined in the Catechism of the Catholic Church as  "efficacious signs of grace, instituted by Christ and entrusted to the Church, by which divine life is dispensed to us." They are visible rites that signify and make present the graces proper to each sacrament. Jesus left His church a gift that is not merely symbolic; they truly confer the grace they signify. We are here to help you in the process of receiving the sacraments to bear fruit as a member of the body of Christ.
