The Sacraments are beautiful moments of relationship with Jesus & gifts of His life & Salvation.
Those who have been touched by God's presence can't but hunger for more of Him. This hunger leads one to daily prayer, Sunday Mass, a life of virtue, and each sacrament at its appropriate time.
ONE OFFICIALLY MANIFESTS THEIR DESIRE FOR A SACRAMENT AT THE CHURCH OF ST. MAX BY SIGNING UP FOR AND ATTENDING THE NEXT ALL SACRAMENTS MEETING. This meeting will be held periodically throughout the year. THE NEXT OFFERING will occur in May 21st from 5-7pm. Meeting takes place in St. Martha Hall. Please enter through door 12.
PLEASE NOTE THAT ONE NEEDS TO FULFILL THEIR SUNDAY OBLIGATION AT THE CHURCH OF ST. MAX INORDER TO RECEIVE SACRAMENTS AT ST. MAX. Sacraments are received within a Parish community and presence on Sundays is a key aspect of belonging to a Parish. If life circumstances lead you to fulfill your Sunday obligation at other Parishes fairly frequently please communicate this to FrK and Andrew.

"Christ instituted the sacraments of the new law. There are seven: Baptism, Confirmation, the Eucharist, Penance, the Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders and Matrimony. The seven sacraments touch all the stages and all the important moments of Christian life: they give birth and increase, healing and mission to the Christian’s life of faith. There is thus a certain resemblance between the stages of natural life and the stages of the spiritual life." (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1210.)
