The Seven Sacraments of the Church
But whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst; the water I shall give will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” - Jn 4:14
Our Lord Jesus Christ is the source of living water, the divine life. He gives us this life and increases it within us by means of seven channels of grace, which are called the sacraments.
Through the sacraments, Jesus Christ unites us to himself, ever deepening our union with him, ever increasing our holiness. The sacraments are a most special means through which Christ is present with us throughout our lives to provide us with all the help and strength we need to grow in the divine life.
Through Baptism, our Lord first joins us to his Mystical Body and gives us the divine life. Through the Anointing of the Sick, he is there to prepare us for death and eternal life. Through Confirmation, Reconciliation, the Eucharist, Marriage and Holy Orders, he strengthens, forgives, nourishes, and prepares us for our various vocations and callings. (from the book Life in Christ by Frs. Weber and Killgallon)

My goddaughter will be turning 15 next year. Me and her family are planning a quinceanera for her she has not completed her first communion. Can she complete both at the same time? Does the church have quineanera and first communions? Please e-mail me. I have called and left 2 messages but no one returned my call. Thank you.
The parish secretary will be contacting you directly…
