Sacraments of the Catholic Church
The seven sacraments of the Catholic Church are special occasions for experiencing God's saving presence.
Sacraments, from the Latin word sacramentum, means "sign of the sacred" and point to seven special areas that are special, sacred and significant for all Christians.
Though not every individual participates in every sacrament, the more you learn about the sacraments, the more fully you can celebrate them.
