RCIA Welcome
On November 22, Fr. Sam welcomed the catechumen and candidates who are part of the RCIA process this year. Lisa Ruggieri, our catechumen, and candidates William Armstrong, Bill Bowlin, Nalene Bigley, Terry Brueggman, Robert Rutherford and Randy Sheetz are making the journey to explore the Catholic faith. We keep them in our prayers as they learn and share our faith through weekly sessions, coming to liturgy, and breaking open God’s Word as it speaks to their lives. Anyone who would like to help share the richness of our faith is encouraged to contact Jay Speca, Adult Formation Coordinator, at 724.941.9406, ext 114.
Faith and the call to a deeper conversion in Christ is a lifelong process. While God continually calls each of us to deeper relationship, everyone’s journey of faith is unique. If you are not Catholic but have been thinking about exploring the Catholic faith, or if you are a baptized Catholic who has not been fully initiated, consider looking into the RCIA process. The RCIA is a restoration of the ancient practice of initiation into the church, whereby men and women, responding to an often inexplicable call, are formed by the local faith community around the word of God. Upon reflection, study and discernment of God’s word, RCIA candidates are led to the sacraments of initiation, thereby empowered to live as disciples who serve the mission of Jesus Christ in the world.
If you are interested in RCIA, please call Jay Speca, Coordinator of Adult Formation , at 724.941.9406, ext. 201.
