| The usual order for listing the sacraments starts with Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Eucharist because they are the three sacraments of initiation and are received in that order, at one time, when an adult comes into the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil. The common practice for most people raised as Catholics from childhood is receive them in the order of Baptism (as an infant), Reconciliation, Holy Eucharist (around age 7 or 8), and Confirmation(as a teenager). |
