"Whoever enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
The gatekeeper opens it for him, and the sheep hear his voice,
as the shepherd calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
When he has driven out all his own,
he walks ahead of them, and the sheep follow him,
because they recognize his voice."
John 10:2-4

Thinking About
Joining the
Catholic Church?
Every year in the Archdiocese of Detroit, hundreds of people join the Catholic Church. Since becoming Catholic requires a commitment to God, the Church and a worshipping community, the per-son must enter a process of prepa-ration and discernment. This pro-cess is called the RCIA, an acronym for Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults.
In the RCIA a person takes a journey with the RCIA Team to learn about and come closer to God. Part of learning about God means that you need to learn about God’s Church. In the RCIA we learn about how the Church was formed, and many of the particulars that are unique to Catholicism.
While learning about Catholicism is essential to the RCIA, it is only part of the process. The most im-portant part of the RCIA is discover-ing, developing, and nurturing your relationship with God. If you feel in your heart that God is calling you, the parish community of St. Pio of Pietrelcina welcomes you!
The RCIA process is open to people who are not baptized, baptized in another Christian faith, or baptized a Catholic but who have never received the Sacraments of Eucharist or Confirmation.
St. Pio Prayer Line
When you call the parish office (586) 777-9116, please wait for
the prompt, and then press #1 for the prayer line. A volunteer parish-
ioner will answer you. The days and times of this service will be

The purpose of this prayer line is to pray with/for the caller’s intention and should be brief.
There will not be any type of coun-seling by the volunteer. This will
be kept confidential. God bless you!
