TabernacleCandleIntention!

O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer you my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day for all the intentions of your Sacred Heart, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world,

for the salvation of souls, the reparation of sins, the reunion of all Christians, and in particular for the intentions of the Holy Father this month. Amen.

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a journey that begins with the stirrings of faith and curi-osity within one’s heart and leads to learning about God, Holy Scriptures, and the Catholic experience. There are four stages in the RCIA process, each designed to guide participants gently along the way. Individuals will gradual-ly recognize God’s personal invitation for them during periods of reflection and prayer, study and discussion, and involvement with other Catholics. Doubts and hesitations may also occur and are a natural part of this time of inquiry. RCIA is the process that informs and transforms candidates so that they may fully understand what it means to be Catholic in the world today. Everyone’s journey is different. The RICA is for adults who: • Have never been baptized as Christians, or • Have been baptized in other Christian traditions and are now interested in the Catholic faith, or • Have been baptized Catholic, but never received further sacraments of initiation. • Are confirmed Catholics but would like to learn more about their faith.

RCIA will begin in October. Registration is currently underway. Please call the office for more information.
