Precepts of The Church

The precepts of the Church are a set of basic rules or guidelines that outline the minimum requirements for Catholics to live a moral and faithful life. These precepts are intended to help Catholics grow in their relationship with God, participate in the life of the Church, and live out their faith in a meaningful way. 

There are five total obligations we have as Catholics:

1. Attend Mass on Sundays and days of obligation.
2. Confess your sins at least once a year.
3. Receive the Eucharist at least once a year.
4. Observe days of fasting and abstinence.
5. Provide for the needs of the Church.
