R.C.I.A. Information Night
Are you searching for a relationship with Jesus through the Catholic church?
Have you been baptized in a Christian community and are feeling called to the Catholic Church?
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults models the practice of the early Church in which unbaptized individuals, after a lengthy period of spiritual preparation, were received into the Church through Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. Through weekly gatherings, those who have not been baptized come together for prayer, catechesis (teaching), reflection, and sharing, to discover where God is calling each
individual.
We also welcome those who have been baptized in another Christian community who are seeking to enter into full
communion with the Catholic Church through Confirmation and Eucharist.
You are invited to attend an information night, Thursday, September 19, 7pm-8pm in St. Michael's Parish Hall to see if the R.C.I.A. is what you are looking for as you continue your journey of faith.
For more information, please contact Cathryn Hall at chall@dol.ca or by phone, 519-432-3475, ext 226.
