The pages in this section deal with the sacraments of the Roman Catholic Church and how people wishing to receive the sacraments receive preparation or ‘catechesis’ in our parish.
The Catechism arranges them in three groups:
- Sacraments of Initiation – Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Communion
- Sacraments of Healing – Penance/Reconciliation/Confession, Anointing of the Sick
- Sacraments at the service of communion – Matrimony, Holy Orders
We have followed this arrangement, adding a section on RCIA – The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults – to the Sacraments of Initiation
