Sacraments | St. Maria Goretti Catholic Church

Sacraments

The sacraments are signs of Jesus’ presence in our lives and a means for receiving his grace. The Church celebrates seven sacraments.

Baptism

In Baptism we are cleansed of original sin, made temples of the Holy Spirit, and become members of the Church.

Reconciliation

In Reconciliation we receive God’s forgiveness and mercy.

Holy Communion

In Holy Communion we receive the Body and Blood, the Real Presence, of Jesus Christ which nourishes our relationship with him.

Confirmation

In Confirmation we are “sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit” which strengthens us to be witnesses of Jesus Christ and to be of service to others.

Matrimony

In Matrimony a man and woman enter a permanent union, a loving relationship which brings each other closer to Christ and generates new life.

Holy Orders

In Holy Orders priests and bishops are ordained to the ministerial priesthood of Jesus Christ in the life of the Church.

Anointing of the Sick

In the Anointing of the Sick, Jesus’ ministry of healing touches the life of the faithful and helps them to unite their suffering with the suffering of Christ.

Funerals

In the event of the death of your loved one, please contact the parish office and we will help you plan the Catholic Funeral Mass.
