If you’re a member of an organization, you may have had to go through certain initiation rites. These are rituals that help you learn about the organization, grow deeper in relationship with others in the group, and commit yourself to membership.

The Catholic Church has rituals of initiation as well — three sacraments that impart God’s grace on us in the early days of forming our commitment to the Church. They are Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation.  Reconciliation, or Confession, is considered a sacrament of healing; children usually receive it around the second grade along with Eucharist.  

Please click on the links in the green column to go to the sacrament that you need information.
