Sacraments Mini-Course

Through the seven sacraments of the Church, Jesus is present, ministering to his people. Healing, nourishing and anointing them. These seven holy sacraments are not just symbols of Christ, they are encounters with him. This encounter with Christ begins with Baptism. The Greek verb baptizo is powerful. It means literally “to plunge.” We speak of “taking the plunge” when we move from the ordinary to the extraordinary, and our lives change irrevocably. The baptized person is changed by being immersed in the life of Christ, becoming a child of God.

Each Monday, beginning February 15, we will send out an episode of The Sacraments from Bishop Robert Barron. On Thursday, we invite you to participate in an online discussion group, where we will discuss the week’s video. The series lasts 6 weeks and is free of charge.
