Communion is considered one of the holiest and most important occasions in a Roman Catholic person's life. It is the first time that a person receives the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, which is the consuming of the consecrated bread and the consecrated wine. Catholics believe these to be truly the body and blood of Jesus Christ. Children eight years and older are invited to prepare for this sacrament

First Reconciliation/Confession

Confirmation

The Catholic Sacrament of Reconciliation (also known as Penance) has three elements: conversion, confession and celebration. In it we find God’s unconditional mercy and forgiveness; as a result we are called to forgive others

Confirmation is a Catholic Sacrament of mature Christian commitment and a deepening of baptismal gifts. It is one of the three Sacraments of Initiation for Catholics. It is most often associated with the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
