Baptism is the first sacrament all Christians receive and is the first step towards full membership in the body of Christ. It, along with Confirmation and Eucharist, are known as the Sacraments of Initiation. They are the building blocks for every Catholic Christian life.
“The faithful born anew strengthened by the Sacrament of Confirmation and receiving the Eucharist are strengthened for eternal life.”
