The Sacraments at St. Joseph

"The sacraments are efficacious signs of grace, instituted by Christ and entrusted to the Church, by which divine life is dispensed to us."

Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1131

In the Catholic Church, the sacraments are sacred signs instituted by Christ to give grace. They are outward expressions of inward grace, celebrated with visible rites that reflect the spiritual realities they signify. Through the sacraments, God’s divine life is shared with us – strengthening, healing, and guiding us at every stage of life.

At St. Joseph Catholic Church, the sacraments are at the heart of our parish life. From baptism to anointing of the sick, we joyfully accompany individuals and families as they prepare to receive these gifts of grace. Whether you're welcoming a child into the Church, preparing for marriage, or discerning a call to priesthood, we’re here to walk with you.
