Religious Formation
Do you want to know more about our Catholic faith? The RCIA program meets every Tuesday from 7pm to 8:30pm in
the Parish Office. These sessions are not only for those who wish to become Catholic or complete their sacraments of
initiation, but also for those who would like to know more! Our Session on Tuesday, September 28th will be focusing on
forming a relationship with God. All are welcome.
Is there someone you know who might like to be invited to explore our catholic faith and what it might hold for them –
someone un-baptized or in a Christian tradition (child or adult) who is searching, or someone who was baptized Catholic
(child or adult) but never completed reception of the sacraments of Eucharist or confirmation. If so, please contact Patrice
Morace.
Would you like to be a Catholic Companion or join our RCIA Team and lead sessions for our adults who want to become
catholic or complete their sacraments? Consider volunteering for these ministries:
RCIA Team – Lead a session approx. every 6 weeks, attend sessions…mentoring and materials provided.
Catholic Companion – volunteer to be a friend, meet our inquirers and candidates at Mass and help them to become
familiar with our parish and the various ministries. Mentoring provided.
