Confirmation, Eucharist, Reconciliation,

baptisma) is a Christian rite of admission and adoption,
almost invariably with the use of water, into the Christian
Church generally and also a particular church.

Confirmation - Confirmation is one of the seven


sacraments through which Catholics pass in the process
of their religious upbringing. According to Catholic
doctrine, in this sacrament they are sealed with the gift of
the Holy Spirit and are strengthened in their Christian life.

Eucharist - The Eucharist /jukrst/, also called Holy


Communion, the Lord's Supper, and other names, is a
Christian sacrament. According to some New Testament
books, it was instituted by Jesus Christ during his Last
Supper.

Reconciliation - The Sacrament of Penance and


Reconciliation (commonly called Confession,
Reconciliation or Penance) is one of seven sacraments of
the Catholic Church and sacred mysteries of Eastern
Christianity, in which the faithful obtain divine mercy for
the sins committed against God and neighbour and are
reconciled with the community of the Church (Cf. Vatican
II, Lumen Gentium 11 2; CCC 1422).

Anointing of the sick - Anointing of the Sick is a sacrament


of the Catholic Church that is administered to a Catholic
"who, having reached the age of reason, begins to be in
danger due to sickness or old age", except in the case of
those who "persevere obstinately in manifest grave sin".

Holy orders - Holy Orders is the sacrament through which


the mission entrusted by Christ to his apostles continues
to be exercised in the Church until the end of time: thus it
is the sacrament of apostolic ministry. It includes three
degrees: episcopate, presbyterate, and diaconate.

Matrimony - Marriage in the Catholic Church, also called


matrimony, is the "covenant by which a man and a woman
establish between themselves a partnership of the whole
of life.
