Gate of Heaven Roman Catholic Church

Sacraments are outward signs of inward grace, instituted by Christ for our sanctification. Sacraments are mysteries; they are signs of the sacred presence of our God we cannot see. They are more than mere signs, however. Sacraments actually give grace. For instance, Baptism is more than just a sign of union with Jesus; it actually washes away sins and gives the gift of the Holy Spirit.

The Catholic Church celebrates seven sacraments: Baptism, First Eucharist, Reconciliation, Confirmation, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders and Matrimony. These seven sacraments touch all the significant stages of Christian life.

Gate of Heaven Parish is a faithful and holy community of Catholic believers who are baptized, and in union with the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. We worship God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - through the celebration of the Mass and reception of the Church’s Sacraments. We serve our community and the risen Lord by living the Gospel message and being Christ to others. As a welcoming community, we invite all to come and share their gifts with us and receive God’s blessings.
