The Seven Sacraments

The sacraments are outward signs instituted by Christ to give grace. Through these sacred mysteries, we encounter the living presence of Jesus and receive the spiritual nourishment we need for our journey of faith.

Understanding the Sacraments

Visible Signs ofInvisible Grace

The seven sacraments touch all the stages and important moments of Christian life. They give birth and increase, healing and mission to the Christian's life of faith. Through the sacraments, God shares His divine life with us, transforming us from within and empowering us to live as His children.

At St Saviour's, we celebrate all seven sacraments with reverence and joy. Whether you're preparing for your first sacrament or seeking to deepen your understanding, we're here to accompany you on this sacred journey.
