Frequently Asked Questions
Questions we are often asked
If you cannot find the answer you need, you are always welcome to contact us directly.
What are sacramentals?
Sacramentals are sacred signs, objects and practices used by the Catholic Church to encourage prayer and help us live our faith more fully. Examples include Rosaries, Crucifixes, medals, holy water, blessed candles and other devotional items.
Are sacramentals the same as the Sacraments?
No. The seven Sacraments hold a unique place in the life of the Church. Sacramentals are different. They help prepare our hearts for grace, encourage prayer and remind us of God’s presence in everyday life.
Do I need to be Catholic to purchase from Christ To The World?
No. Everyone is welcome. Whether you are Catholic, returning to the faith, learning more about Catholicism, buying a gift or looking for something to support your prayer life, you are welcome to browse and contact us.
Are the religious items already blessed?
No. Our religious items are supplied unblessed. After purchasing an item, you can take it to the priest at your church to have it blessed.
Can I have a Rosary, medal, Crucifix or other item blessed after purchasing it?
Yes. Catholic devotional items can be taken to the priest at your church to be blessed after purchase.
