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 Ann Jackson @ 883-0757, ext. 8
or in the evening @ 882-9172
may call the parish office or put a note in the
collection basket. Address the note to
Paula and give your name, address and the name of the deceased. You’ll receive a letter reminding you of the
date and time of the
BOOK
OF REMEMBRANCE
The Book of Remembrance will once again be displayed
next to the baptismal font during the month of November. You are encouraged to enter the names of any
of your deceased relatives or friends provided that they do not already appear
on the pages of this book. Please note
that all prior entries as well as any newly inscribed ones will be remembered
in prayer throughout the month.

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!!!
