Sacraments are vital expressions of who we are as Catholic Christians. Each time we receive a sacrament we respond more deeply to Jesus’ call to discipleship. The Catechism of the Catholic Church lists the sacraments as follows: “The whole liturgical life of the Church revolves around the Eucharistic sacrifice and the sacraments. The Church has seven sacraments: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Penance, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders and Matrimony.”

BAPTISM

Baptism is the first sacrament celebrated in the process of becoming a full member of the Church community. It is the first of the three Sacraments of Initiation—Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. Don't hesitate to contact Deacon Bill Garrett (deacon@holyfamilyhhi.org or 404.680.9054) to discuss details and availability of the Church and a minister BEFORE making any other arrangements. 

CONFESSION

The forgiveness of sins committed after Baptism is conferred by a particular sacrament called the sacrament of conversion, confession, penance, or reconciliation. Monday through Friday after the 8 a.m. mass and Saturdays from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.

CONFIRMATION

A weekly program is held each Fall to prepare 10th-grade teens for the Sacrament of Confirmation. Any Catholic parishoner, 18 years or older, who wishes to be confirmed may enter into formal sacramental preparation which begins in the Fall. Contact our Religious Ed Director for more information at education@holyfamilyhhi.org.

FIRST COMMUNION

The Church describes the Eucharist in Canon Law 897: “The Most Holy Eucharist is the most august sacrament, in which Christ the Lord himself is contained, offered, and received, and by which the Church constantly lives and grows.” Contact our Religious Ed Director for more information at education@holyfamilyhhi.org.

WEDDINGS

Hilton Head Island is a beautiful location in which to have your wedding.  When the bride and/or the groom are Catholic, you are encouraged to have your wedding ceremony in a Catholic church.  We would be pleased to work with you to arrange your wedding at Holy Family, but please be aware that accessibility to the Church is limited.  Please get in touch with Deacon Bill Garrett (deacon@holyfamilyhhi.org or 404.680.9054) to discuss details and availability of the Church and a minister BEFORE making any other arrangements. 

ANOINTING OF THE SICK

“By the sacred anointing of the sick and the prayer of the priests, the whole Church commends those who are ill to the suffering and glorified Lord, that he may raise them up and save them.” (CCC1499) The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick may be administered at any time upon request and is encouraged before surgical procedures. Please call the office parish anytime for more information at (843) 785-2895.
