The Call of Discipleship The Challenge of Discipleship The Cost of Discipleship Faith in Jesus Christ Why Be Catholic The Church Today The eight part series on the Sacraments of the Catholic Church. An overview of the purpose and meaning of the sacraments will begin the series of faith sharing articles. Each following article provides a brief catechesis on one of the seven sacraments. The members of the faith sharing groups will reflect on the significance of each of the sacraments in their personal life of faith. As many catechumens and candidates prepare for full entrance into our Catholic Faith, we felt it might be good for all of us to review or renew our commitment to the beautiful sacramental life of the Catholic Faith. Members of the Diocesan staff, with the pastoral support of Father Michael Heintz and Father Edward Erpelding, have written the reflections.  1- Sacraments 2 - Baptism 3 - Confirmation 4 - Eucharist 5 - Reconciliation 6 - Anointing of the Sick 7 - Marriage 8 - Holy Orders
