Sacraments

Baptism

Are you wanting to have your child baptized? Congratulations! St Anthony is here to accompany you in your sacred duty of raising your children in the Catholic faith.

Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit, and the door which gives access to the other sacraments.

Reconciliation

The Sacrament of Reconciliation (Penance) re-establishes the bond between God and human beings, or between two persons.

Eucharist

The Eucharist is the real presence of Christ. Our gathering and celebration of the Eucharist is our opportunity to praise God and be purified and made holy by God.

Confirmation

The sacrament of confirmation is the maturation of the sacrament of baptism. It completes the process of initiation into the Catholic community, and it matures the soul for the work ahead.

Marriage

According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, “The matrimonial covenant, by which a man and a woman establish between themselves a partnership of the whole of life, is by its nature ordered toward the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of offspring; this covenant between baptized persons has been raised by Christ the Lord to the dignity of a sacrament.” (1601)
