Are you, or someone you know, interested in 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 see Fr. Romelito. Appointments are conducted in a casual format and should be completed by early September as we plan to commence the next RCIA program in October. We will meet weekly from October to early May next year.
Everyone’s faith journey is uniquely special, and God’s love is powerful and exciting, bringing new life to whomever is open to receive it. Parish Office: 519-364-1973, Ext. 0 or info@holyfamily.ca
Scripture Quote to Ponder and Put in Action:
“He put a new song in my mouth, an hymn of praise to our God.” – Psalm 40:3
Reflection on Today’s Gospel: John 6: 51-58
- The gospels the last three Sundays have been focused on the Eucharist – Are you growing in your awareness and appreciation of this bread from Heaven?
- Take a moment now to reflect and ponder this gift.
- What does being unified with Christ look like to you? Who is someone you know who exemplifies abiding in Christ?
