We Joyfully Welcome our 2023 RCIA Candidates into the Catholic Faith

/

On May 28th at the 10 AM Mass, Jennifer, Brianna, Maureen, and Alissa were fully initiated into the Catholic Church in the sacrament of Confirmation.

These four ladies completed eight months of prayer, preparation, and reflection anticipating this Pentecost. RCIA can be compared to a walk: a walk with friends whose faith seeks greater understanding. Adults bring adult experiences, challenges, and questions when they seek full communion with the Church.

The analogy of a walk is most appropriate for adult inquiry. The RCIA volunteers walk along with the candidates as they develop a closer relationship with the Church of Jesus Christ. The RCIA is a blessing to who walk this path together.

In the Fall, we will again welcome those seeking full initiation into the Church by Baptism, Holy Eucharist, and Confirmation, candidates who are already baptized seeking Holy Eucharist and or Confirmation, as well as parishioners seeking greater engagement and understanding of their faith in Jesus Christ. All are welcome.

Beyond Cornerstone's May Kitchen Visit

/

The Beyond Cornerstone Service Ministry's May visit to the soup kitchen, coordinated by Joann Mozeika and Dene Vitali, was a big success.

John’s Deli prepared 200 servings of meatballs with pasta and sauce, which we served with mixed vegetables, Italian bread, granola bar, iced tea, dessert, and a banana.

The meal recipients gather in prayer before their meal, which is again served inside the soup kitchen. It was great to once again be able to serve them personally.
