Parishes of Western Maine Lakes and Foothills
Hi all,
I will be ordering the Study of the Prophets by Ascension Press tomorrow. Tricia will be facilitating it at St. Catherine's starting in the next couple of weeks. The day and time will be at her discretion. It will probably be Sunday or Monday per her schedule. The cost of the study guide will be $30.00 plus S & H. The workbook is not necessary but is helpful. If you are interested in attending this study or would like a study guide, please let me know. If you would like a guide but can't afford the cost, please pay what you can. Feel free to pass this information along to anyone who might be interested. There will be another study at St. Joseph on Thursdays at 1:00 p.m. on the Book of James. Feel free to ask me any questions.
Every Wednesday Morning after the 8:00 A. M. Mass at St. Catherine, there is a study of Lectio Divina (Scripture readings for the comming Sunday Mass) to better understand them.
All Women of Cluster 30
The Catholic Church warmly welcomes new members and tries to provide an appropriate spiritual formation according to each person’s needs. This process of formation is called the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA). Not only is it the Church’s way of welcoming new members, but it is also intended to renew and deepen the belief of each Catholic. The entire parish community is entrusted with sharing its life with new members and with offering them support and encouragement on their journey of faith. Parishioners also participate as sponsors of individual candidates or catechumens as companions on the journey, providing personal attention and support, and serving as a witness to the community of the catechumen’s readiness for each state in the process.
Adults eligible for this program include those adults who have never been baptized, those adults who were baptized in another Christian denomination whose baptism is recognized by the Catholic Church, and those adults who were baptized as infants but have not yet received the sacraments of Confirmation and Holy Eucharist.
