RCIA—Help Wanted!

We are excited to have a great group of people who are interested in the faith journey known as RCIA. We begin on Thursday, September 9, 7:00 pm which follows our August “meet and greet” gathering. All of you are welcome to get involved in this best kept secret of the Catholic Church. How, you ask? Come and journey with someone as a parish sponsor. Sign up to be part of a welcome group, which means greeting the folks as they arrive and providing some simple refreshments for the session. And if you are really adventurous, you might even offer to facilitate the faith sharing when the group is dismissed from Sunday Mass. If you can offer any kind of support, please contact Jay Speca, ext 114.This would be a great chance for some of our parish organizations to embrace our mission by serving in this capacity.

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)

Faith and the call to a deeper conversion in Christ is a lifelong process. While God continually calls each of us to deeper relationship, everyone’s journey of faith is unique. If you are not Catholic but have been thinking about exploring the Catholic faith, or if you are a baptized Catholic who has not been fully initiated, consider looking into the RCIA process. The RCIA is a restoration of the ancient practice of initiation into the church, whereby men and women, responding to an often inexplicable call, are formed by the local faith community around the word of God. Upon reflection, study and discernment of God’s word, RCIA candidates are led to the sacraments of initiation, thereby empowered to live as disciples who serve the mission of Jesus Christ in the world.

If you are interested in RCIA, please call Jay Speca, Coordinator of Adult Formation , at 724.941.9406, ext. 114.
