RCIA CORNER
Today at the 9AM Mass, our Inquirers publicly declared their intention to continue their journey toward initiation into the Catholic Church, and we accepted their intention. Thus begins the period of the Catechumenate. During this period, the Catechumens and Candidates begin (or deepen) their relationship with Jesus through the Liturgy of the Word by being dismissed and spending time in prayer with the Lectionary passages. This period center around Christian formation and conversion.
