In other ...

  • Baptism: Becoming a Christian

    Episode 2

    The Sacrament of Baptism is the beginning of the Christian life and it is the doorway that opens up to all of the other sacraments.

For those who are dying, thi...

  • Holy Orders

    Episode 7

    The Sacrament of Holy Orders is the sacrament in which the ministry of Christ as Head of the Church is exercised, and it is the sacrament through which apostolic succession is handed on in the Church. Through Holy Orders, men are conformed to Christ in such a way that Christ becomes really presen...

  • The Sacrament of Marriage

    Episode 8

    The Sacrament of Marriage is one of the Sacraments of Service and Communion in which husband and wife come together in a sacramental bond to serve each other, the Christian family, and the Church itself by being a living sign of Christ's love for the Church.
