RCIA--The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults - RCIA is the process by which non-Catholics or Catholics who are not fully initiated into the Catholic faith become full members of our faith and our Church. Catholic adults who would like to know more about their faith, and family members of Catholics who would like to understand the belief of their family members are also welcome to "Come and See" what the Catholic Church is all about. Informal inquiry sessions are held every Tuesday at 7:00 PM in the school faculty room.
Bible Study--Classes are held every 2nd & 4th Monday (11:00 AM) and Wednesday (7:00 PM) of the month. We take an informal look at Scripture, with a Roman Catholic perspective. We study various passages from both the Jewish and Christian Scriptures, looking at aspects including the historical and cultural background, the audience, the author, the message intended, the type of literature, and other tests that shed light on what we are reading. All are welcome, please bring your own Bible (if you do not have one, we will supply you with a copy). For more information contact Jen at 370-0500.
Baptismal Preparation--Baptismal Prep classes are held on the first Wednesday of each month at 7:00 PM in the school cafeteria. Parents of children who are going to be Baptized in our Parish are asked to attend. Covered in each class is theology of the Sacrament, a walk-through of the Baptism ritual, and some discussion of how we, as Catholics, can live out our Baptismal Call. To attend a session, please register at the Parish Office by calling Annie at 370-0500.
Eucharistic Ministry to the Homebound--A very large part of our community is made up of senior citizens. Many of our parishioners are homebound, or find it necessary to live in assisted living centers. We have formed a ministry in order to continue bringing the Gospel and the Eucharist to this group of people. All people interested in participating in this ministry are given training and materials and are eventually invited to provide services at local healthcare facilities or if it is their desire, to visit people at home. If you are interested in becoming involved, or if you would like to request our services for yourself or a family member, please call the parish office at 370-0500.
Parish Liturgical Ministries There are many ways which a person might become more active in liturgical ministries. Some opportunities for volunteering are in music ministry, as Lectors, Eucharistic Ministers, Altar servers (for youth in 5th grade and up), Ushers, Hospitality and in the area of Art and Environment. If you have a gift that you would like to share with your community in the context of our worship together, please call the parish office at 370-0500.
