The sacraments of initiation—Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist—are the three primary sacraments, on which the rest of our life as a Christian depends. Originally tied very closely together, the three sacraments are now, in the Western Church, celebrated at different milestones in our spiritual lives.
Within the Catholic Church, there are two sacraments of healing, the Sacrament of Reconciliation and the Sacrament of the Annointing of the Sick. Healing brings us wholeness along the journey of our life and at the end of our life.
We have two sacraments under the sacrament of service. Through marriage, a couple promises to help build each other up in faith, serve each other and the church and be faithful to each other until death.
The sacrament of holy order is for those who choose to become priest, bishop or deacon. Through ordination, they are able to perform sacred duties and serve the church community.
