At the 9:30 Mass on Sunday, December 1 we will be celebrating the Rite of Welcoming for our students in RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults and for Children). This beautiful ritual is a way that these students affirm that they are ready to continue in this program toward receiving the Sacraments of Initiation. In it we ask the Lord to continue to inspire and strengthen them on their journey of faith and we pray in thanksgiving for their desire to grow closer to Him. Please keep these students in your prayers and may they be an example of faith to us all.
