RCIA Instructions To Be Offered at St. Florian A big thank you to all who took part in the "To Teach Who Christ Is" Campaign. We appreciate your generosity. Even though it's still warm out, winter is coming and we have to start thinking about a new boiler. The Archdiocese credits us every month with 60% of your current payments. Some people are delinquent in their payments which slows down our goal. We really can't move forward until we receive most of the funds for the boiler. If you have any questions about your payments, please call the Archdiocese at 312-534-8500. Yours in Christ, Becoming a Catholic Today The media continues to report stories ofhow the Christian religion is experiencing a decrease in the numbers in their membership. It is worth noting that the Catholic Church in the United States gains more new members every year than any other religion. Last year, in the Archdiocese of Chicago alone, 507 catechumens were received into the Church at Easter Vigils. An additional 1063 adults completed the sacraments of initiation (Eucharist, Reconciliation, Confirmation) during the Easter season. What is RCIA? The Rite of Christian Initiation ofadults is a program by which the Catholic Church welcomes new members into its communal life. The RCIA program is a living experience of the church, and NOT just a series of classes to teach you about Christianity. There are discussions about the facts of the faith. These sessions are only one part of the experience of living the faith. This program allows you to learn and share with others who are on the same journey -- living the faith with members of the Church. For more information about the RCIA program, please contact the rectory at (773) 646-4877. RCIA - The Right ofchristian Initiation for Adults These sessions provide information for adults who wish to become Catholic. Baptized Catholics who have not received the sacraments are also invited to attend these sessions as well as anyone who would like to know more about the Catholic faith. Watch for more information in upcoming bulletins! Anyone interested in renting Konsowski Hall, please call the rectory for more information. Fr.
