For students above Grade 2, please call the Religious Education Office. Confirmation is offered to students in Grade 8 or older. Preparation for Confirmation takes place during the school year prior to the year of the Reception of Confirmation. Parents of students enrolled in Sacramental Preparation are expected to attend seminars as announced. For further information on any of the above programs, please call the Religious Education Office at 610-678-0676. Adult Programs RCIA - Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults 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. UPDATE YOUR FAITH Update Your Faith is a relaxed, informal setting for adults to meet, discuss, question and respond to the life and needs of the modern Church and her members. Update Your Faith is a forum open to anyone desiring to learn more about the rituals, tradition and foundations of the Faith; anyone desiring to learn about the impact of Vatican II on the life of the Church and her members; anyone who has lost touch with the heartbeat of Catholicism; anyone who has suffered hurt and is in need of healing. For further information on the above ministries, please contact the Religious Education Office - 610-678-0676. |
