Considering becoming a Catholic? RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) is the normal way in which adults become full, active, participating members of the Catholic Church.
If you are considering becoming Catholic, or know of someone who is interested in becoming a Catholic, please pick up from the narthex the brochure “Consider Becoming a Catholic,” fill out the form on the back and drop it into the parish office, or in the collection basket. The office will then organize an appointment for the inquirer to meet our Pastor. Appointments are conducted in a casual
format and should be completed before commencement of the next RCIA program in early fall.
Reflection on Today’s Gospel
Re-read Matthew 15: 21-28
This Canaanite Woman walked about 100 miles to the area where Jesus was. What
can we learn from her? From Jesus’ conversation with her?
How has God gone a long distance to heal you?
Are you being called to ‘go the distance’ for someone? How can you take a step in this direction?
