As Catholics, we believe that the sacraments are, as St. Augustine put it, outward and visible signs of inward and invisible grace. Outwardly, the sacraments involve words and physical matter and actions, while inwardly they are the direct means by which we experience God’s grace in our lives. The sacraments are far more than mere rituals, or symbols of events that happened long ago; rather, they are a vital source of the help that God freely offers to aid us in our journey of faith.
Each of the seven sacraments was instituted by Jesus Christ, and they are the primary way for us to engage in our faith and grow in our relationship with God. The Father gave his Son out of absolute and perfect love for us, and in the sacraments we encounter the Son’s self-giving love. As we participate in the Church’s liturgies and receive the sacraments, the Holy Spirit works in us to make us more like Jesus.
The sacraments are at the heart of our Catholic faith, and we want to encourage you to receive the sacraments as often as you are able. If you have any questions or would like to receive any of the sacraments, please contact the parish office and we would be happy to assist you.

Što su sakramenti?
Kao katolici vjerujemo da su sakramenti, kako je rekao sveti Augustin, vanjski i vidljivi znakovi unutarnje i nevidljive milosti. Izvana, sakramenti uključuju riječi i fizičku materiju i djela, dok su iznutra izravna sredstva pomoću kojih doživljavamo Božju milost u našim životima. Sakramenti su mnogo više od običnih rituala ili simbola događaja koji su se davno dogodili; nego su vitalni izvor pomoći koju Bog besplatno nudi da nam pomogne na našem putu vjere.
Svaki od sedam sakramenata ustanovio je Isus Krist i oni su primarni način da se uključimo u svoju vjeru i rastemo u našem odnosu s Bogom. Otac je dao svoga Sina iz apsolutne i savršene ljubavi prema nama, au sakramentima susrećemo Sinovu sebedarnu ljubav. Dok sudjelujemo u liturgijama Crkve i primamo sakramente, Duh Sveti djeluje u nama kako bi nas učinio sličnijima Isusu.
Sakramenti su u srcu naše katoličke vjere i želimo vas potaknuti da primate sakramente što je češće moguće. Ako imate bilo kakvih pitanja ili želite primiti neki od sakramenata, obratite se u župni ured i rado ćemo vam pomoći.
