Baptism
Baptism is the basis of the whole Catholic life, the gateway to life in the Spirit, and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as sons of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church, and are made sharers in her mission:
"Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water in the word."
First Reconciliation
The sacrament of Reconciliation, sometimes called Confession or Penance, is about the mercy of Jesus Christ. Confessing our sins reconciles us to God and restores us to his grace and intimate friendship. Confession breaks the power of shame and hurt of sin, and restores and revitalizes our relationships within the community of faith in the life of our Church.
First Eucharist
The Eucharist, or Holy Communion, is both a sacrifice and a meal. We believe in the real presence of Jesus, who died for our sins. As we receive Christ's Body and Blood, we also are nourished spiritually and brought closer to God.
Confirmation
Confirmation is a Catholic Sacrament of mature Christian commitment and a deepening of baptismal gifts. It is one of the three Sacraments of Initiation for Catholics. It is most often associated with the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Marriage
The Sacrament of Marriage is a covenant, which is more than a contract. Covenant always expresses a relationship between persons. The marriage covenant refers to the relationship between the husband and wife, a permanent union of persons capable of knowing and loving each other and God. The celebration of marriage is also a liturgical act, appropriately held in a public liturgy at church.
Quinceanera
The main reason a girl has a Quinceañera is to be presented as a woman before God and before the community. Often in Latino tradition, a Catholic mass is where this tradition takes place. The mass signifies a promise to be a woman of faith and a follower of Christ.
