RCIA Do you know anyone seeking to be Bap-tized? Do you know someone who has not be Baptized in any Religion but is desiring to be Baptized and is 7 years or over? The RCIA (Rite of Christian Initi-ation of Adults) is the answer. The per-son completing these classes will make all their Sacraments at the Easter Vigil next year.

When do you find time for prayer within a busy day? Some days do not lend themselves to dedicated or uninterrupted prayer time. Instead of skipping prayer, find ways to build it into things you already do. Recite the Rosary on your drive to work. Bring joy to your chores by thanking God for the food that dirtied the dishes, the clothes that fill the hamper, and a floor that requires vacuuming. Offer a Hail Mary while brushing your teeth Pray before and after each meal.
