The Ecumenism of Church’s mission is agreater chance since recapitulates the beginnings of the Christian Church. Analytical relationship between pastoral activity like mission and the Sacraments as a means of pastoral care is like a constant of this paper.A paper that includes a bidirectional approach to research: a). Synthetic analytical delineation of the main considerations in systematically register, referentials at theological level, on the sacramental-liturgicalpastoral care of the present, and b). a summative foray into observingand anticipating the main challenges of the contemporary world on the mission of the parish and the Church in the context of parish pastoral work through the Sacraments. The overall findings converge to providean answer to the dilemma induced by the double registry of the study purpose, set by the title.
