RCIA – RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS

ATTENTION – THESE EVENINGS ARE FOR PERSONS INTERESTED IN LEARNING ABOUT THE CATHOLIC FAITH.

This is an invitation to come to our first meeting SEPTEMBER 18th AT 7:30PM in the Library.

Come with your questions, your curiosity, your point of view. They will be the basis of our discussions.

TO OUR PARISHIONERS: Because our Parish Community is considered the official teacher and guide for possible new members, it is important that some of you help by being present and by sharing your faith in various ways that are comfortable to you.

ADULT CATHOLICS: who wish to celebrate the Sacraments of Eucharist and/or Confirmation are welcome also.

For more information, please call Mary Landry at 416 – 221 – 8866 ext. 224
