“The Reformation: What Does it Mean Today?”
Do you love your Catholic faith? Are you encouraged by the growing number of
people who are joining the Catholic Church as adults? We need your help to wel-
come our newest members.
As an RCIA sponsor you will be paired with a candidate (baptized adult from anoth-
er Christian tradition) or a catechumen (unbaptized adult) whom you will accompany
through the process of sacramental initiation. You do not have to be an “expert” or a
perfect example. All you need is a willingness to support, pray for, and connect
someone to our Catholic community.
Please contact Drew Denton in the parish office if you are interested in learning
more.

flock.
We will watch the documentary A’plas: The Story of Father Stanley Rother and hear
from Monsignor Jowdy about how the witness of the Central American martyrs has
shaped his own life and ministry.
