RCIA (RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS)
On Sunday, December 8, 2019, we celebrated the Rite of Acceptance with our inquirers as they became catechumens and candidates. Each week at the 9:00AM Mass they will be dismissed after the Homily, in order to further break open the word of God proclaimed in the assembly. During this time, they reflect together, with the guidance and support of the catechetical team, on the lectionary. The catechumens and candidates serve as witnesses of God’s unfailing love and continued call to renewal for all of us. Please keep them in your prayers. For questions or more information about this process, please call801-527-2037 or email [email protected].
