Sacraments

The seven sacraments of the Church may be described as the “gateways” through which Jesus continues to make his entrance into the world.

His presence and action in the world is not confined to these seven sacraments. In fact the whole world continues to be a revelation of God’s power and love.

The sacraments do unite us with Christ. They touch all the important stages and all the important moments of the Christian life.

The sacraments are signs, made up of words and gestures that effect what they symbolize.

The sacraments are rooted in the life of Jesus Christ--in his miracles and healings we see the sacraments in action.

Through the sacraments we receive the gift of grace—the very life of God.

Preparation Programmes are in place in St. Brigid’s for Baptism, First Communion and Confirmation facilitated by teams of leaders of all ages.

Are you interested in learning more about the Catholic tradition?

The RCIA offers a pressure-free, non-judgmental environment where you can learn about Catholicism

and what Catholics believe and are called to witness to. The RCIA are for inquirers

and for people who are unbaptized, as well as those who are baptized Christians but

have not received the Sacraments of Holy Communion and Confirmation. You do not

have to journey alone!
