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 1^st 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.

  

FILL THE CUPBOARD CHALLENGE:  The 7^th Annual CVPS Fill the Cupboard Challenge has begun. In the past six years, Fill the Cupboard participants have donated nearly 100,000 food items to the Rutland Community Cupboard. Since January, over 1,300 families have visited the Cupboard. The Rutland Community Cupboard will only continue to meet this overwhelming demand with your help! Our goal is to collect 20,000 food items, and with your continued support, I know we can meet it. There will be boxes for the food items by the exits of St. Peter Church until September 27.

  

JUST A NOTE:  Adam De Blasio has completed his Eagle Scout Project on the Holy Family Shrine. Thank you to everyone who gave donations of monetary and material things. Please stop and see how beautiful it looks.
