On Nov. 27th, at the 10:30 Mass, we celebrate the RCIA Rite of Welcome and Acceptance for those wishing to join the Catholic Church and become fully initiated by receiving the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and First Communion.
This year, there is one catechumen (unbaptized), namely Jacob Hassemar. There are two candidates who have been baptized in other faith traditions, namely Sean Hannigan and Emily Labuz. And there are three more who have been baptized in the Catholic tradition, but have not received Confirmation or First Communion, namely, Aurora Fenzl, Mike Burnett, and Wade Winger.
They have all taken the first steps in this journey through the Period of Inquiry. We now welcome them and encourage them to continue with the Period of Catechumenate and continued preparation of reception of the sacraments. Please keep them in your prayers.
