This program is for all those who would like to become Catholic. Please attend any of the following meetings. There is no obligation and it will be your choice when you are ready and would like to join our faith. The fullfilment of this process and receiving the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and First Communion occurs on the most beautiful celebration of the year, the Easter Vigil. The program is designed for adults and it is so inspiring to see so many people and families wanting to learn more about our Catholic faith and, ultimately, becoming Catholic. For more information please call our parish office and ask for Fr. Emil. The following three parishioners are coordinators of this ministry: Lee McFarland, Shirley Bianchi, and Joan Alford.
ADULT RELIGIOUS EDUCATION CLASSES - Meeting time: Thursdays, 7 to 8:30 PM, Room 5.
