Rite of Christian Initiation / RCIA
Begins October 16th

our annual religious education process that
culminates at Easter.
RCIA is primarily intended for people who wish
to join the Catholic Faith, however, it is also
open and blessed by the participation of any of
our parishioners or persons who would like to
come to a deeper knowledge of their catholic
faith. All are welcome to participate.
TEAM LEADERS ARE NEEDED
TO BRING THE SON OF GOD TO ALL!
RCIA Leadership Meeting Planned
Tuesday, October 2, 2012 at 7:00 P.M.
St. Anthony Parish Center
We are actively searching for interested folks to work
on our RCIA team and invite you as a practicing
catholic to join us in a leadership role. If at all
interested attend the meeting and see what our
process is like. Phone Father Tom at 628-7182
Do you want to discover the Richness of your baptism? Do
you want to understand the Bible more deeply? Do you not
see the presence of God in your life, or understand your
situation of suffering?
In the Apostolic Church those who wanted to be baptized
underwent a serious initiation called the catechumenate to
engender a deep faith in them. Holy Rosary, Billings, will
be hosting the Neocatechumenal Way, for those who,
baptized or not, want to deepen their faith. The
Neocatechumenal Way will be holding catechesis on
Mondays and Thursdays at 7pm, beginning on September
24th at 7pm.
Or just come to our own RCIA in Oct.
