This edition features a warm welcome and the beginning of Advent with a day of reflection and the lighting of a candle.
We Celebrate the Rites
On Sunday, November 19, our community celebrated and prayed with those who are preparing to become members of the Catholic Church. The Rite of Acceptance (for the unbaptized) and Rite of Welcome (for those baptized in another Christian denomination) is the initial step for our group of candidates and catechumens in their journey toward the Easter sacraments.by Joan Rose Brown
