Understanding the Sacraments

Explaining the Faith Series

by: Fr. Chris Alar, MIC

Why is the Catholic Church different from any other church? It has the seven Sacraments. These are not just symbols but God's guaranteed grace. They are Biblical, as they were instituted by Christ and entrusted to His Church. It is Christ Who acts and communicates His grace through Baptism, Eucharist, Confirmation, Reconciliation (Confession), Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders (Ordination), and Matrimony.

In his engaging style, Fr. Chris Alar, host of the popular "Explaining the Faith" online talks, takes us "back to seminary" for a refresher course on what all Catholics should have learned. He answers such questions as, Why do we baptize infants? Where is Confession in the Bible? Is my marriage valid? And many more.
