BIBLE STUDY/SHARING

The Bible is the Word of God - His voice speaking intimately to us, refreshing us and teaching us. In the Bible, God opens his heart and shares his thoughts with his children, bestowing on them a high dignity as he forms them after his own likeness. "In the sacred books, the Father who is in heaven comes lovingly to meet his children, and talks with them." (Vatican II: Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation, 21) Small groups of interested individuals gather to reflect, pray and grow in faith. Times and place to be announced.

RCIA - The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the process by which
people become members of the Roman Catholic Church.  The process is concerned
with the total formation of the person into believing with the Church community
(doctrinal formation), living with Church community (practical formation),
praying with the church community (liturgical formation), and serving with the
Church community (apostolic formation).  This gradual development culminates
in the celebration of the initiation sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation,
and the Eucharist at the Easter Vigil.
