RCIA

Interested in Becoming

Catholic?

The Rite of Christian Initia-

tion of Adults is the process

through which unbaptized

adults and older children are

formed in the instruction and

practices of the sacraments

and the teachings of Jesus Christ and are initiated into

the Catholic Church.

This process is marked by various rites and rituals that

explain in a special way the meaning and richness of

our faith.

Therefore, I kindly ask you to help us by inviting

and welcoming into our parish family all those

family members or friends who want to learn and

profess our Catholic faith. All adults who want to

be baptized, confirmed, or receive first communion

at the Easter Vigil of this year, 2021. Please contact

Fr. Carlos at fathercarlosruiz@gmail.com or at

978-537-5293, for more information.

We will accompany all our catechumens and candi-

dates with our prayers and full support as they prepare

each week to receive these beautiful sacraments of

initiation.

Thus, as one family, let us pray to God and Mother

Mary as we grow together in faith and in love. May

the Holy Spirit illuminate the hearts of those who are

looking for the Lord, his love and blessings.

Fr. Carlos

Happy New Year St. Anna Community!

I hope all families had a pleasant Christmas and New

Years. As I welcomed our students back into school

on Monday, January 4th, I offered the following

prayer:

A New Year's Prayer

Lord, You make all things new . You bring hope alive in

our hearts and cause our Spirits to be born again. Thank

you for this new year and for all the potential it holds.

Come and kindle in us a mighty flame, so that in our

time, many will see the wonders of God and live forever to

praise Your glorious name. Amen

God Bless,

Mrs. Legendre
