At Saint Peter's, we are here for your sacramental needs.

A sacrament is an outward sign of inward grace instituted by Christ. Through ordinary, tangible things, like bread, wine, oil, and water, God's grace comes down to us, and the mystery of salvation is made alive. By receiving the Church's sacraments, we come to share in God's life and He comes to live in us, preparing us to see Him face-to-face in heaven. There are three kinds of sacraments: the Sacraments of Initiation, the Sacraments of Healing, and the Sacraments of Service.

The Sacraments of Initiation are Baptism, the Holy Eucharist, and Confirmation. The Christian life begins in baptism, as our sins are washed away in its waters and we enter into Christ's death and resurrection. We then receive Christ's Body and Blood in the Eucharist, which gives us the strength to persevere in the Christian life. In Confirmation, we are sealed with the Holy Spirit and sent out to bear witness to the faith.

The Sacraments of Healing are Reconciliation (Confession) and the Anointing of the Sick. The Lord Jesus comes to us in Reconciliation to absolve us of our sins and provides the healing we need in our souls. Jesus, the Divine Physician, also wants to heal us physically, and the Anointing of the Sick does just that: giving us the physical and spiritual healing that we need to bear witness to God's love for us.

The Sacraments of Service are Holy Orders and Holy Matrimony. God selects certain men to serve His Church as priests and deacons through the celebration of the sacraments, the preaching of the Gospel, and care for His people. In Holy Matrimony, a man and woman become one flesh and bear witness to God's nuptial love for His people.
