RCIA (Catechumenate Process)

The next  celebration of Rites with our Elect will be the next three weekends. These solemn rites are called the Scrutinies. In the Scrutinies the Elect are prayed over and these rites are solely for self searching and repentance with a deep spiritual purpose. The Scrutinies are meant to uncover, then heal all that is weak, defective, or sinful in the hearts of the Elect; then to bring out, then strengthen all that is upright, strong, and good. Please continue to pray for our adults who are preparing themselves to celebrate the Sacraments of Initiation.

Children NO longer need to bring in their Reconciliation Books to class. The only book needed for checking is the Blue Eucharist Book.
