Searching for Meaning, Purpose & Faith...?
Are you searching for meaning, purpose and faith? Do you want to learn more about Jesus and his church? Have you been baptized, but never received your other sacraments?
RCIA* is a process designed to help lead you through the inquiry process through initiation into the Catholic faith. The group meets once a week to talk about the faith, ask questions and learn how it connects to everyday life. It's a journey. The leaders will walk with you as you decide if you're ready to take the next step and be a full member of the Church. All are welcome....come as you are!!
Classes are meeting Sunday evenings from 6:00 pm to 7:15 pm in the Immaculate Conception Church Hall. Meeting topics through the end of the year are listed under Events, with the filter Faith Formation.
If you're interested, reach out to Monique Claverie at moniquenalex@gmail.com

- evangelization and stewardship of those we seek to serve and inspire throughout our diocese and beyond

The group will gather weekly for a Gospel Reflection and prayer. Each week, the group will look ahead to the coming week's scripture readings, reflect on the Gospel, explore parts of the Mass and Catechism, and pray for the group's intentions. Meetings will be no longer than an hour, usually less.
This is a casual, come-as-you-are gathering where all men are invited. Whether you're just starting to learn more about the Mass and our faith, or you’ve been walking this journey for years, we need YOU to help get this started.

Prayer for our Parish
Lord,
St. Kateri Tekakwitha Parish is composed of people like me.
It is I who help make it what it is.
It will be friendly, if I am.
It will be holy, if I am.
Its pews will be filled, if I help fill them.
It will do great work, if I work.
It will be prayerful, if I pray.
It will be generous for good causes, if I am a generous giver.
It will bring people together for worship and fellowship, if I invite and bring them.
It will be a parish of loyalty and love, of fearlessness and faith, if I am filled with these same qualities in myself.
Therefore, Lord, give me the grace to dedicate myself to being everything I want St. Kateri Tekakwitha Parish, my parish, to be.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
