RCIA The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, or RCIA, is a process by which non-baptized men and women enter the Catholic Church. It s also for those adults who might have been born Catholic, but were not formally educated in the Catholic faith. The RCIA process involves several stages marked by group study and discussion, personal prayer, and various rites that are celebrated at Mass. For those participating, it is a steady journey of personal conversion as they study the Gospel, grow their faith in Jesus Christ and their knowledge of the Catholic Church, and ultimately receive the sacraments of baptism, confirmation, reconciliation, and Holy Eucharist. The RCIA process follows the ancient practice of the Church and was restored by the Second Vatican Council as the standard way in which adults prepare for full communion with the Church. You can also check out the St. Louis Archdiocese website on RCIA at http://archstl.org/becomingcatholic. Summer is quickly drawing to a close, and this season's RCIA sessions will start in September. You can sign up now by contacting Laura Marlo at 636-346-7983. Come and see!

Interested in attending youth group? Called to serve the youth as a core member? Visit our website at: holyinfantballwin.org/youth-ministry Dear Parishioners, As many of you are aware, Fr. Vordtriede, Fr. Burkemper and I make a point a er our weekend Masses to greet visitors and guests of Holy Infant. You may be surprised at how many guests and visitors we have with us every weekend. Some mes, they are parishioners from neighboring parishes who find a Mass me convenient, or they might be parents of a parishioner in town checking up on a son or daughter. Some of the "newbies" are just that, folks new to the neighborhood and the parish. So many of these are younger folks, o en couples expec ng their first child or those just having welcomed a new baby to their families. I spot them on their way out of church, welcome them and try to get their names. I am always wondering if any in the congrega on, the "regulars" if you will, have also reached out to those who are with us for the first me. It is hard in any situa on to break into a new group, and it can be especially difficult in a parish where many of us have known each other for many years. It is quite natural to gravitate to those we already know, but the research has shown that unless new prospec ve members are recognized and welcomed, it is far less likely that they will be back. So I encourage all of our parishioners to extend a warm welcome to those you don't know. Even if someone has been coming to church here for a while, they don't mind being acknowledged. You can also sign up to be one of our greeters. See more informa on in this bulle n. Hospitality is so important; it might just be one of the more important of all Chris an virtues. On a different note, we are fortunate to have many great organiza ons and ministries within our parish community! One of our great organiza ons is the Holy Infant Mothers of Preschoolers ( MOPS ). They are currently enrolling members for 2017-2018. Their first mee ng will take place on Wednesday, September 6 th from 9:15 a.m. un l 11:15 a.m. in the Holy Infant Room. MOPS is a faith-based community of mothers who offer each other support and discussion regarding paren ng, marriage, health and overall well-being. Childcare for infants, toddlers and preschoolers is provided during the MOPS mee ngs. Newborns can a end mee ngs with their mothers. There are social ac vi es for children and adults. All mothers with kindergartenaged children or younger are invited. If you would like addi onal informa on, you may contact Tammy Eilers at (314) 610-8954. God s blessings for a great week!
