Sacraments
As Catholics, we believe in Jesus Christ and the Salvation won for us through His Passion, Death and Resurrection. We also believe that He founded the Church through which we are all united in a “hidden and real way to Christ who suffered and was glorified.” (Lumen Gentium, 7) . It is by this faith that the Catechism states, "Christ now lives and acts in and with His Church, in a new way appropriate to this new age. He acts through the sacraments in what is called ‘the sacramental economy;’ this is the communication of the fruits of Christ’s Paschal mystery in the celebration of the Church’s sacramental liturgy.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1076)
Sacrament of Baptism
Baptism of children is arranged through private meeting with Fr. William Faix. Adults seeking Baptism are required to follow a period of preparation in OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation of Adults).

Sacrament of Confirmation
Confirmation is, according to Catholic apologist Jeff Cavins, a "powerful, permanent outpouring of the Holy Spirit that deepens one's baptismal grace, unites them more firmly to Christ, increases the gifts of the Holy Spirit, strengthens their bond with the Church, and gives them the special strength to be true witnesses of the faith by word and action."
