What is a sacrament?
Sacrament, religious sign or symbol, especially associated with Christian churches, in which a sacred or spiritual power is believed to be transmitted through material elements viewed as channels of divine grace.
Sacraments are vital celebrations for who we are as Catholic Christians.
Each time we celebrate a Sacrament we respond in a deeper way to Jesus’ call to discipleship. Since Sacraments are so important to us, we take them very seriously and prepare to receive them thoughtfully and thoroughly.
All Sacraments are personal and community events and this is reflected in the preparation and celebration of the Sacraments here at St Augustine’s.
