The 5 Precepts of the Catholic ChurchÂ
These are the minimum for maintaining a life in prayer and communion with the Church.
How can I better fulfill these in order to have a living relationship with God and the Church after Confirmation?
1. Attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation
2. Confess Sins at Least Once a Year: The faithful are required to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) at least annually.
3. Receive Holy Communion at Least Once a Year: This is specifically required during the Easter season.
4. Fast and Abstain on Prescribed Days: Observe the days of fasting and abstinence established by the Church (e.g., Ash Wednesday and Good Friday) to practice penance.
5. Provide for the Needs of the Church: Catholics are to assist with the material, financial, and spiritual needs of the Church, according to their ability.
