Matrimony
The marriage covenant, by which a man and woman form with each other an intimate communion of life and love, has been founded and endowed with its own special laws by the Creator.
The People of God
At all times and in every race, anyone who fears God and does what is right has been acceptable to him. He has, however, willed to make men holy and save them, not as individuals without any bond or link between them, but rather to make them into a people who might acknowledge him and serve him in holiness.
The Eucharist
The origins of the Eucharist are found in the Last Supper that Jesus shared with his Apostles. So rich is this mystery that we have a number of terms to illumine its saving grace.
Reconciliation

Baptism
Baptism is our entry into the body of Christ and family of God. Through baptism, we die to sin and rise to new life in Christ. For Christians, community has always been an essential part of life. Baptism is the way we enter that community and become members of the body of Christ, the Church.
The Sacrament
The reception of the sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace. By the sacrament of Confirmation the baptized are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit.
