Evangelization
Evangelization is an opportunity for people to renew their faith in
small prayer groups. There are two sessions each year – one during
Lent and one in the Fall. It is a chance to be bold, brave and
beautiful in the Lord - for it is good for us to come together.

Prepare
This ministry helps couples become more aware of their relationship
strengths and potential work areas. It is for couples who have
experienced marriage helping other couples who are preparing for
marriage. These couples are trained to help facilitate couples'
growth in their understanding of each other. By working with the
PREPARE process, couples are taking an important step in getting
their marriage off to a good start.
The
Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA)
The Rite of Christian Initiation of
Adults is the process by which people become members of the Roman
Catholic Church. With an emphasis on how the local community forms
men and women, sponsorship and team involvement are an important
part of the process.
The Process is concerned with the
total formation of the person into:
-
Believing with the Church
community (doctrinal formation)
-
Living with the Church community
(practical formation)
-
Praying with the Church community
(liturgical formation)
-
Serving with the Church community
(apostolic formation)
This gradual development culminates
with candidates celebrating the initiation sacraments of Baptism,
Confirmation, and Eucharist at the Easter Vigil.
If you are interested in becoming a Catholic, or
learning more about the Catholic Faith, you can register for the
RCIA by calling Pat Germann at (651) 501-2202
or
E-mail.

discuss and explore their faith again. This group meets for 6 weeks
in the Fall.
Bible Study
Various groups offering scripture study, spiritual growth and
education of the Catholic faith.
