For the secular world, Easter has come and gone; IT’S

OVER! But it is not over for Christians, and definitely not

for RCIA. This period of the RCIA process during the

Easter season is called Mystagogy, because in the early

history of the Church, pagans called the Sacraments

“mysteries”. The church borrowed the term Mystagogy

which meant “leading through the mysteries”. It is the

period in which we should continue to celebrate Easter and

the Resurrection. We didn’t just prepare spiritually for

Easter Day; we were preparing for a new way of life. And

that is exactly what our RCIA Neophytes will be doing

during this stage of their faith journey. We will delve

deeper into all the mysteries of our faith, to gain a deeper

love of Jesus and a greater understanding of His gifts to us -

and how we can use those

gifts in His discipleship.

For information on

RCIA, please call The

Faith Formation Office

433-2777 x138.

Para el mundo secular, la Pascua llegó y pasó; ¡SE

ACABÓ! Pero para los Cristianos no ha terminado, y

definitivamente no para RICA. Este período del proceso de

RICA durante el tiempo de Pascua es llamado Mistagogia,

porque en la historia primitiva de la Iglesia, los paganos

llamaban a los Sacramentos “misterios”. La iglesia tomó

prestado el término Mistagogia que significaba "que

conduce a través de los misterios". Es el período en el que

debemos seguir celebrando la Pascua y la Resurrección.

No nos preparamos espiritualmente solamente para el Día

de Pascua; nos estábamos preparando para una nueva forma

de vida. Y eso es exactamente lo que nuestros Neófitos de

RICA estarán haciendo en esta etapa de su camino de fe.

Profundizaremos en todos los misterios de nuestra fe, para

tener un amor más profundo de Jesús y un mayor

entendimiento de sus dones para nosotros - y cómo

podemos usar esos dones como Sus discípulos.

Para información sobre RICA, favor de llamar a la

Oficina de Formación de Fe, 433-2777 x 138, o a
