| RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) meets Sundays 9:00am in Rectory. We welcome those with questions as we explore the faith in a supportive community. RCIA is for those who have never been baptized, for those who have been baptized in another Christian community and are approaching the Catholic faith, and for adult Catholics who have not yet received the Sacrament of Confirmation. All are invited! |
CHILDREN'S LITURGY OF THE WORD takes place during the 10:30am Mass Sundays. After a blessing from Fr. James the children process out of church led by their Catechist to the Rectory where they hear the Sunday scriptures read and explained in words they can understand. A simple Profession of Faith and Prayers for Others follow. Then the children are brought back into the Sunday Mass. CLOTW is an important way to welcome these children and their families and to nurture them in the faith.
