RCIA 

In the midst of our hectic daily lives we can come to a sense of longing for something more, seeking direction or fulfillment, of being valued or of being of value to the world.  Have you, or someone you know, been curious about the beauty of our Catholic faith or perhaps wondered why we do what we do at Mass?  Have you been searching for a deeper relationship with God? 

Our RCIA/Adult Faith Formation meetings are set to begin on Wednesday October 26 at 6:30 in the Upper Room in the Parish Hall.  RCIA, or the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults, is the Church's provision to prepare people to become full members of the Catholic church. The meetings are also an opportunity for Catholics to renew and revitalize their understanding of our faith and to share what Catholicism means to them with potential converts. 

We welcome all inquirers, both Catholic and non-Catholic, to attend our RCIA/Adult Faith Formation meetings.  We plan to use a new series from Ascension Press, "What we Believe: The Beauty of the Catholic Church". Please contact Amy Ulrich (amy.ulrich220@gmail.com)  for more information and indicate your interest so materials can be provided for you.

January  Schedule

Solemnity of Mary:   January 1
The Epiphany of the Lord:  January 8 
NO DAILY MASSES FROM JANUARY 1-JANUARY 17.

As we move toward the conclusion of the Christmas Season and cross the threshold of a new civil year, may we open our hearts to Christ. With Pope Francis and Pope Emeritus Benedict let us receive and share the good news that God offers us freedom from whatever weighs us down: our sin history, our struggles, our discouragement. May we rejoice with fresh hearts that Christ gives us hope, he brings us life.

In Christ,
Bishop Michael McGovern

​Prayer for Pope Benedict XVI
 
Father, eternal shepherd,
hear the prayers of your people
for your servant Benedict,
who governed your Church with love.
In your mercy, bring him
with the flock once entrusted to his care
to the reward you have promised
your faithful servants.
May he who faithfully administered the mysteries
of your forgiveness and love on earth,
rejoice with you for ever in heaven.
In your wise and loving care,
you made your servant teacher of all your Church.
He did the work of Christ on earth.
May your Son welcome him to eternal glory.
May your servant
whom you appointed high priest of your flock
be counted now among the priests
in the life of your kingdom.
Give your servant the reward of eternal happiness
and let your mercy win for us
the gift of your life and love.
We entrust your servant to your mercy
with faith and confidence.
In the human family he was an instrument
of your peace and love.
May he rejoice in those gifts
for ever with your saints. Amen.
- The Sacramentary (1974), “Masses for the Dead: For a Pope.”
