In August we will begin our next class for adults
interested in learning about the Catholic faith using the
Rite of Chr istian Initiation of Adults or RCIA. These
classes are for the un-baptized, those baptized in another
Christian faith who wish to become Catholic, and for
baptized Catholics who have not yet received the
sacraments of First Communion or Confirmation. If you
are interested in registering or need additional
information, please call the Pastoral Center at 347-2203.
R.C.I.A. begins Tuesday, August 11th.
And will be held upstairs in the Pastoral Center.

Vocations Cross Ministry
If you would like to receive the
vocations cross, please call the Pastoral
Center at 347-2203.
Parishioners are loaned the Vocations
Cross when they bring up the offertory
gifts at a pre-selected weekend Mass of
their choice. They are asked to take the cross home and
pray as a family each day for one week for an increase in
religious vocations.
