All our lives and full of joys and sadnesses, ups and downs, beginnings and ends. The Church has ways of marking these occasions or ways of helping people through difficult times: from baptism and confirmation to mark new life, and anointing and funeral ministry for sickness and bereavement. The sacraments the Church celebrates are signs of grace that make a deeper reality present to us. One reality we encounter through the sacraments is Christ’s presence in the Church community, his body.
