ADULT PROGRAMS RCIA - Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults Interested in becoming Catholic or learning about what Catholicism is all about? …New RCIA session starting… Thursday, September 8 7:30 PM Parish Meeting Rooms If you are interested in joining RCIA, please contact the Religious Education Office at 610.678.0676. RCIA is a process whereby adults (age 18 years and older) are brought into full communion with the Roman Catholic Church. The introduction into this process is called the Pre-Catechumenate. At St. Ignatius, the Pre- Catechumenate is a series of sessions to get acquainted with the process, the people and the traditions. These sessions are held periodically throughout the year. The Pre-Catechumenate is followed by an intensive period of prayer, preparation and spiritual renewal which is the heart and soul of RCIA. This intensive period of RCIA begins in mid-September and continues until Pentecost with the Sacramental celebration of full membership at the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday evening. The RCIA process includes, but is not limited to, ministries such as Catechists, Sponsors, Host/Hostesses, Public Relations and Evangelizers. Catholic Café: Heavenly Grounds & Food for the Soul On Thursday, September 22, Catholic Café will “re-open” for its second year! Catholic Café is an opportunity for adults to deepen their understanding of the faith, while meeting like-minded parishioners in a fun and casual atmosphere. The Café meets once per month (selected Thursday evenings) at 7:00 PM in the Parish Hall to share refreshments with a thirty-minute presentation beginning at 7:10 PM. Discussion period will follow with closing prayer at 8:00 PM. Each talk will focus on a topic relevant to the faith of everyday Catholics. For more information, contact John Maria at 610.678.1511 or email at jcmaria@comcast.net.
