Welcome, Fr. Theo!
Fr. Theophilus (Theo) Okpara from Cross Catholic Outreach will speak to us on the important works of Cross Catholic Outreach and how we can help support this ministry. Cross Catholic Outreach gives faithful U.S. Catholics opportunities to empower the global church to serve the poor in Christ’s name through specific works of mercy. Your generosity equips priests, nuns and lay leaders to meet the most urgent needs in their communities and proclaim God’s love in both word and deed.

Spiritual Advent Angel
We invite you to participate in an opportunity to pray for another family in the parish during Advent. To participate, please fill out a Spiritual Advent Angel slip found in your pew this weekend. List your Family name, the names of your family members, and your address. Put your slip in the collection basket when instructed, and when the basket comes around another time take a different slip. This is the family you will pray for throughout the Advent Season. The last week of Advent, send a Christmas card to this family, reveal yourself, and let them know you have been praying for them.

RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults)
Whether you've been coming to Mass for years and are finally ready, or just interested in learning more about Catholicism, we're glad you're here and we are ready to help. Rites of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) is the process that the Catholic Church uses to foster the spiritual journey of adults wishing to become Catholic. RCIA is also the process that helps baptized Catholics who have not received first communion and confirmation, complete their sacraments of initiation. Contact the Parish Office to learn more about RCIA, 508-885-3111 x104.
