Synopsis

Drawing from the "Catechism of the Catholic Church," the "U.S. Catholic Catechism for Adults," and the writings of Benedict XVI and John Paul II, Msgr. Peter Vaghi's easy-to-use resource considers each of the sacraments from a personal, communal, and social perspective. The chapters explore the sacraments as a whole and examine the scriptural foundation, the history, and the symbolism of each.
