All Seven Sacraments flow from Christ, the head of the Church which is the visible Body of Christ present in our world.

Jesus promised, "I will be with you until the End of Time".  Jesus has Risen and is living, though invisible, among us.  

All of the Sacraments are the ongoing ministry of Jesus who is alive and living - but visible in the physical form of the celebration of the Sacraments.

Briefly,

• In the Sacrament of Baptism, Jesus is uniting us to Himself.
• In the Sacrament of the Eucharist, Jesus is feeding us with His body and blood - His Risen Life.
• In the Sacrament of Reconciliation, Jesus is forgiving and healing us of the woundedness our sins cause.
• In the Sacrament of Anointing the Sick, Jesus is healing the person within and physically, if necessary.
• In the Sacrament of Confirmation, Jesus is pouring out His spirit upon us to continue His mission of reconciling the world to His Father.
• In the Sacrament of Marriage, Jesus is the source and power of unity that unites husband and wife into "one".
• In the Sacrament of Holy Orders, Jesus is ministering as the Good Shepherd through the priest and offering us who are in love with him as a gift to His heavenly Father.

Without Jesus present, none of the rituals of the Sacraments would have any effect or power at all.

In our parish of St. Augusta, the Sacraments are available at various times.
