RITES TO LIFE

Rites to Life provides a brief, but contemporary introduction to the seven sacraments of the Church by leading readers to an awareness of the sacramentalism of their lives, followed by an individual examination of each sacrament from points of view of historical development, scriptural foundation and understanding by the contemporary Church. Ideal book for parish discussion groups, senior school students and all who wish to know more about the sacraments.
