RCIA � Rite of Chris�an Ini�a�on of Adults will begin with

a period of inquiry this summer for anyone who has never

been bap�zed or was bap�zed in another Chris�an Tradi-

�on and now feel drawn to the Catholic Faith. We are also

here to serve and guide adults who were bap�zed and per-

haps made their First Communion as young children, but

never had the opportunity to complete their ini�a�on in

the Catholic Church through Confirma�on.�

Year 1 or 2 Confirma�on prepara�on for teens. The prepa-

ra�on process for Confirma�on of teens can begin when

the Candidate is entering 8th

grade. It is a two year

process, with the Confirma�on Celebra�on happening

in the Easter Season of the Candidates second year of

prepara�on. For example, if a teen entering 8th

grade

in September began Confirma�on prep. in September

2018, he or she can plan to celebrate his/her Confir-

ma�on in the Easter Season of 2020.�

(Continued from page 1)� Everyday Stewardship�

What else is there to give when one

has already given away their body

and their life? What more can one

say or do to demonstrate love for another when all they

have has been given to another? This total giving of self to

loved ones cannot be trumped by flowery words or materi-

al gics that are flee�ng. This is the ul�mate in love. This is

the love Jesus had for us on the way to his passion, at the

ins�tu�on of the Holy Eucharist. This is the love he has for

us daily in the celebra�on of the Mass on altars in every

church, in every city, in every na�on on earth. No one can

give more. No one can ask for more. This is the true heart

of Chris�an stewardship.�

If you take the �me to gaze upon your God in the simplest

of forms and begin to reflect on what has actually taken

place with bread and wine becoming the presence of the

Divine, then you can begin to understand true humility,

sacrifice, and love. And when you have the privilege to

take that Real Presence into your body at the meal where

you are an honored guest, you become one with the one

who is the embodiment of stewardship. Then, you must

ask the ques�on of yourself, "How can I even begin to re-

flect the love that I have encountered at this feast?" �

The answer is you can begin with the simple ac�ons of the

day: where will you go, whom will you meet, and in what

work will you partake? Jesus Christ has shown that the

greatest gic ever given can be disguised in this world in a

piece of bread. By joining your body to his, he can now

transform human hearts, not by grand acts but by every-

day acts, by everyday people, prac�cing Everyday Steward-

ship.�
