SACRAMENTS

A sacrament is an outward sign instituted by Jesus that provides inward grace to an indiividual.  There are seven sacraments in the Catholic Church: Baptism, Reconciliation, Eucharist, Confirmation, Matrimony, Anointing of the Sick, and Holy Orders.  Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Orders can only be received once in a persons life.  The other sacraments can be received numerous times and we are encouraged especially to receive the Eucharist and go to Reconciliation often.
