Saint Patrick Catholic Church
~ Sacraments ~

SACRAMENTS
The seven sacraments are the life of the Catholic Church.  Each sacrament is an outward and visible sign of an inward and invisible grace, instituted by Christ for our sanctification.  Grace is favor, the free and undeserved help that God gives us to respond to his call to become children of God, adoptive sons, partakers of the divine nature and of eternal life. (Catechism of the Catholic Church [CCC] 1996)

Marriage is a vocation to holiness. From their first days as husband and wife through their golden years, married couples have the awesome task of witnessing to God’s faithful love to each other, their children, and society. No couple does this perfectly, and everyone needs help when love feels strained and the going gets tough. All marriages can grow in knowledge, faith, joy, and love. Whether you are just starting out in marriage or have fifty years under your belt, the advice, real life stories, and Church teaching here can help strengthen and bless your marriage. Information also available for Dating & Engaged Couples, and Family Life & Parenting.
