ALL ARE WELCOME! Do you have a family member or friend who has questions about the Catholic Church or is a Catholic who may have missed receiving some of their Sacraments? All Are Welcome! Adults and children over the age of 9 who have not been Baptized are invited to attend RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) and RCIA Adapted for Children (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults Adapted for Children). This is an opportunity that allows adults and children to inquire about the Church to ask questions or clarify what they may have heard, followed by a period that provides fundamental information of the Church: Sacred Scripture, Liturgy, Prayer and Community. Adults, children and youth who have been Baptized in the Catholic Church or a Trinitarian Baptism and have not received further Sacraments, are invited to attend continuing education for the reception of the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Holy Communion and Confirmation. These sessions, which can be done on an individual or group basis, are a personal and enlightening way to learn more about our Catholic Faith and preparation to receive Sacraments. Please join us: November 24: Session with Father Gaul, “Christology”, Gathering Area Contact Trisha Kamionka in the Office of Faith Formation, 910-425-5617, gsccdre@gmail.com, for further information or questions about either of these opportunities to learn more about the Catholic Faith.
