The Six Strands of Religious Education

Celebrating-Deepen Your Understanding
Sacraments
Sacraments are holy, visible signs instituted by Christ of an invisible reality, in which Christians can experience the healing, forgiving, nourishing, strengthening presence of God that enables them to live in turn; this is possible because God’s grace works in the sacraments. (YOUCAT P. 105)
Liturgical Year
The liturgical year, or the Church year, superimposes the mysteries of the life of Christ – from his Incarnation to his second coming in glory – on the normal course of the year. (YOUCAT 186)
Liturgy
Liturgy is always in the first place communion or fellowship with Jesus Christ. Every liturgy, not just the celebration of the Eucharist, is an Easter in miniature. Jesus reveals his passage from death to life and celebrates it with us. (YOUCAT 171)
