Sacraments are profound and sacred moments through which God graciously reaches out to us and bestows his abundant blessings. These extraordinary acts of divine communication serve as tangible reminders of his eternal love and presence in our lives, allowing us to experience his grace in a tangible and transformative way. By utilizing visible signs, such as water in baptism or bread and wine in the Eucharist, the sacraments beautifully bridge the gap between the physical and the spiritual, unveiling the hidden depths of God's truth and mercy. Together, they form an interwoven tapestry of divine revelation, inviting us to participate in the sacred mysteries and drawing us ever closer to the heart of our Creator.

Confirmation

Confirmation is the Sacrament that completes the grace of Baptism by a special outpouring of gifts by the Holy Spirit, which seal the baptized in union with Christ, and equips them for active participation in worship and apostolic life of the Church.
