RCIA (Rite of Catholic Initiation of Adults Have you ever wondered what the Catholic faith was all about or why do what we do or just who are these saints that we pray to for help? In conjunction with our neighboring parishes of Sacred Heart, St. Sebastian, and St. Albert the Great, a once a week program can help you to discern if you wish to join the Catholic Church. Our program is open to those of no religious affiliation but have a curiosity of the Catholic faith and those who have been baptized in another Christian faith but feel drawn to the Catholic faith. Our Wednesday evening classes begin September 19th and run through May, 2019, and consist of prayer, sharing, community and reflection for the development of a faith and spiritual formation. Throughout the process, there is no set length of time for you to make your decision to become a Catholic nor is there any pressure. This decision is left up to the individual and must come from the depths of one s own heart and soul. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the program, please contact me at your earliest convenience. Fill the Bus!

GOSPEL MEDITATION - ENCOURAGE DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE August 5, 2018 18th Sunday in Ordinary Time In an on-demand society, it's not always easy to imagine life with less. The crowds of Jesus' day depended on the weather and successful growing seasons for their livelihood. For many of Jesus' listeners, even "food that perishes" would have been a welcome relief. Jesus acknowledges this but tries to draw them deeper. "You are looking for me not because you saw signs but because you ate the loaves and were filled." For people who have just witnessed a miracle, the response is strangely marked by ingratitude. "Jesus," they seem to say, "can't you just give us more?" How often do we behave similarly in the spiritual life? "If I only I had more patience, then I could be kind to her." "I know I'd be a better parent if I just had more time." Like the crowds, we want Jesus to give us more. Perhaps it's not "more patience" we need, but a deeper sense of our own imperfections for a greater sense of empathy. And time may limit you from family engagement, but could God be asking you to reorder your priorities entirely? After all, it wasn't more loaves that the people needed. Jesus is "the bread of life," who sustains our most essential needs. This week, are you looking for more or are you looking for God Himself?
