RCIA
Have you ever wondered what the Catholic Church is all
about? Have you been attending Mass with
your spouse or a friend, but haven’t fully participated because you come from a
different faith tradition or no religious tradition? Were you baptized in the Church but for some
reason never received the other sacraments?
The RCIA is the process by
which people explore the Catholic faith or continue the sacramental process
started but not completed as a child.
The inquiry sessions are informal and based on participants needs and
questions. For more information, please
contact the Deacon Ray Wheeler @ 883-0757, ext. 5.
The
Parish Office will close at 12:00 noon on Friday’s during the summer through September
3rd, 2010.

ADDRESS
CHANGE INFORMATION
In order to keep our records up to date would you be
so kind to let the office know if your address has changed. You can call the office at 883-0757, x-2,
drop the info in the collection basket or mail it to the church address. This is also a way to be cost effective
because when we send out mailings and your address changes it is returned here
to the parish and then we must send it again to the correct address. Thanks!!!
