    The Seven Sacraments
    During this year, you will be looking closely at the Church's special signs and celebrations known as the Seven Sacraments. The Sacraments point to God and to his love. Christ himself acts in the Sacraments, and they become sources of grace and new life. You'll grow in your understanding of the Son of God, who was sent to bring salvation and new life. You'll learn about the Church's role in salvation and the Holy Spirit who unites the Church in Jesus. And, you'll explore how the Sacraments are celebrated and the ways the grace of the Sacraments deepen your relationship with Christ and strengthen you to follow him.
