The Seven Catholic Sacraments
The Latin word sacramentum means "a sign of the sacred." The seven sacraments are ceremonies that point to what is sacred, significant and important for Christians. They are special occasions for experiencing God's saving presence. That's what theologians mean when they say that sacraments are at the same time signs and instruments of God's grace.

Reconciliation & Eucharist
The Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Eucharist are
normally celebrated in the second grade. Preparation for these sacraments is
integrated into both the school and Sunday RE curriculums.
A communal reconciliation service is held twice a year - once
in Advent and once in Lent.
Private reconciliation is available on Saturdays between 4:00
and 5:00 p.m.
