Sacraments

A sacrament is an efficacious sign of grace, instituted by Christ and entrusted to the Church, by which divine life is dispensed to us through the work of the Holy Spirit. The seven sacraments are the signs and instruments used by which the Holy Spirit spreads the grace of Christ the head throughout the Church which is His Body.

CCC 774

Below are all the sacraments and how arrangements can be made to celebrate them. For more information please contact the parish office at 630-837-5411 or email info@stpeterdamian.org.
