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 10:26-33

Re-read Matthew 10: 37-42
How might a person be guilty of loving their parent/child/spouse more than Jesus?
What is a cross you have been carrying?
Did you set down ‘your life’ and embrace it willingly? Do you drag it along grudgingly? or avoid picking it up?
Pray for the Holy Spirit to quickly draw your attention to failings and pray for the grace to carry it gallantly.
