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 (including an email address if you have one) 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. Interviews with Father are informal and should be completed by September as we plan to commence the next RCIA program in October. We will meet weekly from October to late April next year. For further information, please contact Francis-Joseph (FJ) Gross, the RCIA coordinator, on 519-364-2072 or fjhgross@wightman.ca
Interested in journeying alongside a RCIA candidate as a Catholic Sponsor? Learn more. Contact F.J. Gross (see above information)
Let’s work together for a Scent-free Environment – please note some members of our community have very negative reactions to scents. Thank you.
Play a Musical Instrument?
Consider volunteering and sharing your gift and talent at the Sunday 11am Mass in Carlsruhe. Please speak with Claire or Mary-Catherine after Mass.
Please remember in your prayers: the souls of Allan Reich, nephew of Karen & Barry Doersam, Janette Spooner, sister in law of Karen & Barry Doersam, and Neal Zentner, brother of Karen (Barry) Doersam and for consolation for the families.
Reflection on Today’s Gospel Luke 10: 38-42
- Invite the intercession of Martha to help you welcome Jesus more fully into your home and life. Reflect on your practices of listening to God’s word.
- Do you have a bible in convenient locations or apps on your phone to inspire and encourage you?
- What are your many distractions?
- Look at your day today – what are needs? What are wants? Can you simplify the day’s plan to allow you to choose ’the better part’?
