Join us for an informal Conversation
Tuesday, May 22 Our final session is 7:30-9 p.m. in the Parish Center
The last of our four faith inquiry sessions on “Me a Catholic?” with Father Len Piotrowski is coming up on Tuesday.
Father Len has been leading these conversations about our Catholic traditions and our individual calls to faith as part of our continuing program for adult faith formation
The discussions have been directed toward those who are looking for a Church, who might want to become Catholic , have questions about the Catholic faith and what we do, or have drifted away from the Church for any number of reasons.
Our participants have been Protestants, Catholics and those of no particular domination at all, but perhaps feeling called by God to learn more. Others are practicing Catholics interested in hearing more about our faith or accompanying someone they know.
It is an opportunity to discuss a variety of issues about the Church and to consider what our Catholic Christianity has to offer, the depth of our faith and how it reaches out to all people as a universal Church, as Jesus did and continues to do.
Maybe you know someone who is looking for a faith community or who wonders about returning to our Church and would like to join us.
As always, there is no pressure on anyone to do anything – only a time to ask questions, to meet others and to learn about the Catholic faith.
RCIA faith formation is to help adults who want to become Catholic. These sessions provide a way to explore and to discuss our Catholic faith, and to consider whether it is right for you. There is no fee or obligation.
We meet at 7 p.m. each Monday, with breaks for holidays and the Christmas season. Our next group is expected to begin Sept. 17 - although anyone interested or who has questions is invited to contact Deacon Steven Girardi in the parish office at any time.
In addition to RCIA, we will continue to schedule adult confirmations at Espiritu Santo during the Advent and Lent seasons. We also have adults preparing for confirmation when Bishop Gregory Parkes visits our parish May 26 to preside at the confirmations for the young people in our Religious Education program and Espiritu Santo school.
If you or someone you know has been baptized as a Catholic or in any other Christian faith tradition and want to know more about confirmation, you also are encouraged to contact Deacon Steven.
