The Seven Sacraments
A Catholic Parish
After the family, the Parish is the focal community of Catholic Life. It is the place that the first
incorporation into the Body of Christ is sacramentalized: that the key events of life, union, death
and resurrection are celebrated. There are other proposed alternatives and substructures, yet the parish
remains the central reality in the lives of most Catholics. In short, the parish is the local
community, to which the parish and diocese collaboratively must give its full and undivided attention to
fulfilling their common purpose: to continue the Mission of Christ.
It is from the parish that the Proclamation of the Gospel goes forth. “The parish exists not for itself, but for the Mission of Christ. And so people are called forth to minister to one another in the parish community, as well as to those around them where they live and work.” (NCCB)
