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.
  • Become familiar with Christian teachings
  • Practice the Gospel way of life in their daily lives
  • Work with others through a spirit of charity and service to spread the gospel message. (Organizations, this is an ideal time to invite the Catechumens and Candidates to participate in your apostolic and social activities.)
Please pray for our Catechumens and Candidates that they will follow the call to discipleship.
