Sacraments & Communal Worship

- Sacraments are "powers that come forth" from the body of Christ, which is ever-living and life-giving. They are actions of the Holy Spirit at work in His body, the Church. They are "the masterworks of God" in the new and everlasting covenant. (CCC 1116)
  
  Below is a list of the seven Sacraments. Read more about each Sacrament, and learn how to prepare and receive them here at St. Gabriel.
  
  As Catholics, our primary form of communal worship is the Sacred Liturgy. See the Sacrament of the Eucharist for more information about Mass and worship.
