On Saturday, January 10, at the 5pm Mass, we will celebrate the OCIA Rite of Entrance into the Catechumenate and the Rite of Welcoming the Candidates. During this liturgy, the Church formally recognizes those seeking entrance into the Catholic Church. Those to be baptized at the Easter Vigil will enter into the Catechumenate phase of preparation. Those who will be receiving Confirmation to complete their Sacraments of Initiation or to enter the Church from another Christian tradition at the Easter Vigil will be welcomed as Candidates. Please join us to pray with these Catechumens and Candidates, as they commit themselves more deeply to Christ, and as we pledge prayerful support on their journey of faith. Join us after Mass for a wonderful opportunity to meet these catechumens and candidates over delicious food and drink.
