10 Marian Helper • Fall 2025 • Marian.org By Dr. Joe McAleer “The Sacraments — they are everything,” the Very Rev. Chris Alar, MIC, told the overflow group of faithful gathered in the cavernous St. Mary’s Cathedral in Sydney, Australia (above). “A Sacrament is an efficacious sign, meaning it does something. It’s a sign instituted by Christ and entrusted to His Church by which divine life is instilled in you. It is the way to Heaven. You want the only guaranteed way of grace? The Sacraments!” World premiere Fr. Chris’ Understanding the Sacraments Giovanni Portelli Photography New from Marian Press
