Serving Christ and Connecting Catholics in Western North Carolina
We are about to celebrate the Diocesan Eucharistic Congress, and our entire diocese is very happy to be able to accompany our Lord through the streets of Charlotte with our bishop – who for 19 years has wanted all to gather at such a solemn event.
Sacraments are visible signs of invisible grace. Through the Sacraments of the Church, God uses natural signs to communicate His supernatural grace to us. For example, Baptism uses the sign of water. Water is necessary for life, but it can also be deadly, which makes it a fitting sign of the death and rebirth that sacramentally occurs at baptism.
