RCIA: Enter into the Mystery of the Catholic Faith

by Leave a Comment

RCIA, the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, provides a way for adults and children over age seven, who experience God’s call, to enter fully into the Catholic Church. Included are unbaptized (catechumens), Christians baptized in another denomination (candidates for full communion), and baptized Catholics who desire full initiation through reception of Eucharist and/or Confirmation. Through the RCIA, fully initiated Catholics journey with those preparing for full initiation. The Catholic way embraces a daily call to conversion of mind and heart through and with Jesus. Formation begins Tuesday Sep 27th at 7PM at St. Patrick’s Club. To join us, contact Stephanie Pritts at stephanie.p@stmalachi.org.

Beginning this weekend, guests are invited inside the Parish Hall for a sit-down breakfast.  Thanks to Brother Phil and his efforts, volunteer groups will cook, serve and cleanup each Saturday so that our guests at Saturday Morning Breakfast can relax at a table and enjoy a hot breakfast with their friends and neighbors.  Several volunteer groups will rotate throughout the month and take on this important task of serving the homeless and our less fortunate neighbors.

Pope Francis Quote for 09/18/2022

by Leave a Comment

Jesus brought the Gospel, the good news of God’s love for each one of us, and that is why the Lord says the Gospel is like a fire, because it is a message when it erupts into history and overturns the old ways of life, helping us overcome selfishness and break our dependence on sin, leading to new life in the Risen One. Things are never the same when the Gospel comes alive in one’s heart. It provokes change, conversion, and sparks a restlessness that sets us in motion, and drives us to open up to God and to our brothers and sisters. Angelus Message, Aug. 14, 2022.
