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)

Reflection on Today’s Gospel Luke 9: 11 – 17 Discussion Starters:
- Have you ever tried to pass on a responsibility or task and heard the Holy Spirit whisper ‘You do it”
- Like Jesus provided for the disciples, do you believe Jesus will provide for you, your given missions in miraculous ways? How?
- Renew your faith in the true presence of Jesus in the Eucharist; focus on your genuflect, visit the adoration chapel and add a prayer intention to the prayer box there, receive the Most Precious Body and Blood of Jesus with great reverence and awe
