Sacraments
Sacraments are an outward or visible sign of an invisible grace. They are great signs of God’s love for us. The sacraments are unique signs we can perceive through our senses that allow us to deepen our relationship with Jesus.
The sacrament of Reconciliation is a beautiful hug from God, allowing us to ask for his forgiveness and to receive his loving mercy!
Receiving the Eucharist – the source and summit of our Catholic faith – nourishes our soul so we can continue to live out our Christian life that our baptism initiated us into!

The new diocesan website dedicated to fostering priestly vocations, www.dolpriest.ca,
The hope of this site is that it will lead young men who are discerning the priesthood to discover the gift of their vocation, and offer them resources that are relevant to their experience. The site is regularly updated by Fr. Danny Santos, Director of Vocations and Seminarians.
A woman who enters consecrated life chooses to deepen her baptismal commitment by taking vows which emphasize the values of prayer, loving service, and simple living in community with others. Consecrated women serve the Church and community in many ways, including: youth ministry, homeless and hungry, battered women, education, healthcare, family life and parish pastoral ministry. Some Sisters are totally dedicated to the contemplative life.

The anointing of the sick is administered to bring spiritual and even physical strength during an illness, especially near the time of death.
It is most likely one of the last sacraments one will receive. A sacrament is an outward sign established by Jesus Christ to confer inward grace.
In more basic terms, it is a rite that is performed to convey God’s grace to the recipient, through the power of the Holy Spirit.
