Have you been searching for a deeper relationship with God? For a sense of belonging, in a faith community? Are you married to a Catholic and want to know more about your spouse s faith? Have you been attending mass, sometimes for a very long time, and never made that phone call? Do you have children in our parish school, or in RCIC? Have you learned about our faith and Church with them, and want to know more? Ever wondered about the differences in the Catholic and Protestant Bibles? Or how about Mary and the saints? The RCIA is a journey for adults through discernment of God s call. Through the beginning stages of asking and seeking. Through involvement with faithful Catholics. Through discussions about Catholic teachings. Through the Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist. These informal sessions meet in the Lourdes Room on Sunday mornings at 8:30 AM. If you or someone in your family is interested, call the RCIA Director: Marty Charney 419-865-7252. Making Time for God in a Busy World Please come to explore and reflect upon your relationship with God in a busy world. The reflection will address our present moment of time, the gift of the past in memory and a glance at the future. Presented By Reverend Roland P.
