The Sacraments of the Catholic Church
There are seven sacraments in the Catholic Church:
Baptism Reconciliation Eucharist Confirmation Marriage Holy Orders Anointing of the Sick The first five listed are generally a part of person's faith development and details are contained on these pages regarding the preparation needed to receive them at St. Mary. Holy Orders is when a person becomes a member of religious order or community such as a nun, priest or brother. Anointing of the Sick is sometimes referred to as Last Rites, though it is rite fully used when a person is seriously ill or facing surgery.
