approach will be to ask every family to make a meaningful and sacrificial gift

A JOURNEY IN FAITHmdashRCIA

The word journey implies movement from common

experiences to new encounters relationships

thoughts and feelings We bring to the journey our

own particular story our beliefs our understanding

our own individual history and insights

No less can be said for a journey of faith Whether

you are a returning Catholic or you are exploring the

possibility of becoming a member of the Catholic

church a good starting place would be the questions

you have about the Catholic faith

Learning about the Catholic faith involves more than

just knowledge and information By listening to

your thoughts and feelings you become aware of

Godrsquos invitation to grow and change in new ways

This is a personal journey unique to you as you are

embraced by the church community

If you or someone you know if interested in learning

about the Catholic faith please invite them to an

information meeting on September 26th at 630pm in

the parish office 3307 W Dravus (west of the

school)

Please contact Kathy Carr kcarrolfatimaorg if you

would like to attend

A JOURNEY IN FAITHmdashRCIA

The word journey implies movement from common

experiences to new encounters relationships

thoughts and feelings We bring to the journey our

own particular story our beliefs our understanding

our own individual history and insights

No less can be said for a journey of faith Whether

you are a returning Catholic or you are exploring the

possibility of becoming a member of the Catholic

church a good starting place would be the questions

you have about the Catholic faith

Learning about the Catholic faith involves more than

just knowledge and information By listening to

your thoughts and feelings you become aware of

Godrsquos invitation to grow and change in new ways

This is a personal journey unique to you as you are

embraced by the church community

If you or someone you know if interested in learning

about the Catholic faith please invite them to an

information meeting on September 26th at 630pm in

the parish office 3307 W Dravus (west of the

school)

Please contact Kathy Carr kcarrolfatimaorg if you
