LIVING THROUGH THE THE SACRAMENTS
The Sacraments are the way we are incorporated into the Body of Christ. They are what makes us ‘Church’ rather than a loose collection of individuals seeking God. Anyone wishing to receive a sacrament or wanting a special service (funeral, memorial service, etc.) should speak to Fr. John directly. The following articles will help to explain what the sacraments and services of the Church are and how to receive them.
