Coming in January: A new course: THE APOCRYPHA Early Christian Writings and Gospels-
not included in the Bible. Presenter: Debbie Zweier
What religion are you ?
You might say Catholic, Roman Catholic or Catholic Christian. But it is so much more than that. It should be a defining state-ment. Being Catholic is not what we are, it is who we are!
Being Catholic is belonging to the very church that Jesus Christ himself established on earth. Do we know what that really means?
There is a fullness to our Catholic Faith that we can understand so much better now than when we were children. It makes so much more sense through the lens of adulthood. Questions: Contact - Cheryl Avery 973-702-1342
This journey of faith starts with a book by Fr. Michael Gaitley, MIC, “ The One Thing is Three”.
Join us on Tuesday Evenings Starts - October 18 , 2016 (10 Weeks)

another gift from our loving God. Come join us for these special mornings of prayer,
reflection and sharing. Monday Mornings of Advent - 10:00AM - 11:30 AM

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)
The RCIA journey invites those who are inquiring about the Catholic faith to “come and see.” You are most welcome to join the journey.
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) provides an opportunity for those seeking to learn about the Catholic Church and its traditions to participate in small group gatherings which meet on alternate Wednesday evenings at 7:30 PM throughout the fall season. The RCIA experience offers a special opportunity to deepen your relationship with God, and also welcomes those members of the Catholic community who are seeking to receive the Sacraments of Eucharist and/ or Confirmation to prepare for the reception of these Sacraments.
If you are considering becoming Catholic, or would like to prepare for the Sacraments of full initiation into the Catholic faith, or would like a place to start in journeying back to God, please come and see what the RCIA expe-rience can offer. We are also pleased to welcome new fa-cilitators to our ministry, please consider your gift of faith as something to be shared joyfully and come join us.
