SEPTEMBER 7, 2014
Have you ever wondered what it would take to become
a Catholic? Do you feel drawn toward membership in
the Catholic Church? Have you secretly wished that
someone would invite you to look into becoming or to
become a Catholic?
That invitation is being extended to you now by Father
Gene & Sister Dorellen!
On a Sunday during the month of September 2014 you
are cordially invited for coffee and pastry, in the rectory
after 9:30AM Mass. At this time you will be able to ask
questions about the R.C.I.A. process about membership
in the Roman Catholic Church, what Catholics believe
and do and why?
At this time you will have the opportunity to meet the
R.C.I.A. team. We also invite any Adult Catholics in
need of receiving the sacraments of First Eucharist and/
or Confirmation. If you think that God might be calling
you to membership in the Roman Catholic Church,
please, do join us.
Adult Confirmation Classes
Confirmation classes for baptized Roman Catholics who have
made their First Communion and are over the age of 18 will
be held in three locations this fall.
