RCIA PROGRAM

FOR BELIEVERS AND WOULD-BE BELIEVERS

 

The RCIA process is designed to help persons in one or more of the following groups:

  • Catholics who want to deepen their understanding of their Faith.
  • Adult Catholics preparing for 1st Communion and Confirmation.
  • Returning Catholics.
  • Non-Catholics who want to learn more about Catholic Christianity.
  • Non-Catholics who want to become a member of the Catholic Church.

 

RCIA is the process of learning and living the message of Jesus as revealed in the Scriptures and in Catholic tradition. The program explores the teachings, practices, and history of the Catholic Church – so that each person involved in the process comes to enjoy a fuller, richer understanding of God and his/her relationship to God and community.  For enrollment or for more information, please contact Fr. Ted at 775-1994.

FROM FR. SAM:

 

As I prepare to leave for my assignment at our parish, St. Pius X, I want to express my gratitude for the opportunity of being able to grow in Christ and in ministry with you this past year. It has been a unique year; first, to sit among you as a brother, then to serve you as a deacon and now to be ordained as a priest. The year has brought forth many gifts but from the very beginning, I knew it was a blessing to simply be here. The opportunity to grow and learn with you in such a variety of circumstances, ministries, meetings and evaluations proved to be a grace upon grace. I have let the formation team of my province know as such. I leave with a firm and rich foundation for my ministry of service as a priest. I also carry prayers for the continued growth of the parishes of St. Peter and St. Dominic, along with prayers for your own individual journey in Christ.

 

In the peace and joy of Christ as inspired by St. Francis,

 

Fr. Sam

 

My new address will be:

     St. Pius X Friary

     310 Westfield St.

     Middletown, CT  06457
