The Bible & the Sacraments
Discover the Biblical Roots of the Sacraments
What are the Sacraments? Where do they come from? What do they mean? And why are they so central to our Catholic Faith?

"The production is very high quality and this study itself is well researched and approachable leading too a deeper understanding and appreciation of God's Sacraments and the valuable role they have in our daily life."
Chris
"I loved this series because, as a convert, I believed in the sacraments but didn’t have the background. I shared this series during CCD with my students who are studying the sacraments this year. It helped them to understand the connections of the Old and New Testament."
