    Sacraments


    We recognize that the Sacraments have a visible and invisible reality, a reality open to all the human senses but grasped in its God-given depths with the eyes of faith. When parents hug their children, for example, the visible reality we see is the hug. The invisible reality the hug conveys is love. We cannot "see" the love the hug expresses, though sometimes we can see its nurturing effect in the child.

    The visible reality we see in the Sacraments is their outward expression, the form they take, and the way in which they are administered and received. The invisible reality we cannot "see" is God's grace, his gracious initiative in redeeming us through the death and Resurrection of his Son. His initiative is called grace because it is the free and loving gift by which he offers people a share in his life, and shows us his favor and will for our salvation. Our response to the grace of God's initiative is itself a grace or gift from God by which we can imitate Christ in our daily lives.

    First Communion
    The Holy Eucharist is the most important of all the sacraments because it is the only one in which we receive the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ.

    Confirmation 
    Receiving the sacrament of Confirmation means saying “yes” to your Christian faith. By reaffirming the promises made at Baptism, Confirmation allows us to become adults in the church and ambassadors of Jesus Christ.

    Weddings 
    The sacrament of marriage is a sign to the world that God is living and bearing fruit between two people. If you’re thinking of getting married at St. John’s, here’s what you need to know:
    • -Weddings of non-parishioners are welcome.
    • -At least one person in the couple must be a baptized Roman Catholic.
    • -Engaged couples who are not St. John’s parishioners are expected to undergo marriage preparation with their own priest. That priest may also serve as the -Officiant/Celebrant for the wedding itself, or the couple may arrange for another priest to be the Officiant/Celebrant at the wedding.
    • -The clergy at St. John’s are only available to registered parishioners.
    If you would like more information on weddings at St. John, please contact Bridget McClellan, 317.635.2021.
