Sacraments

Preparing for Sacraments
The reception of a sacrament is a most important moment in the life of a member of the Church community, and careful preparation should be made. The Cathedral offers a time of preparation for those who are to receive sacraments, to enable them to enter more fully into these great mysteries of our faith.
