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 life of faith.
Visible Signs ofInvisible Grace
The sacraments mark the most sacred moments of our lives. In Baptism we are welcomed into God's family. In the Eucharist we are nourished. In Confession we are forgiven. In Marriage and Holy Orders we are called to serve. Each one is a gift of grace from Christ himself.
These are not simply ceremonies or traditions. They are real encounters with God, moments when the Holy Spirit is at work in our hearts, drawing us closer to Christ and to one another. Through the sacraments, the Church has sustained the faithful for over two thousand years.
At St Saviour's, we are ready to walk with you. Whether you are preparing for your first sacrament, bringing a child for Baptism, or returning to the faith after many years, you are welcome here.
