The Altar Rosary Society provides drink and cookies afterward in front of the school outdoors. If it rains, everything happens in Church.

“MAKING ALL THINGS NEW” UPDATE

Cardinal Dolan is in the process of reviewing the Recommendations that were presented to him by the Presbyteral Council that took place on June 30, 2014 and July 1, 2014. Since that gathering there have been several developments. The pastoral planning working group has offered a few additional suggestions for consideration based on further input from vicars and pastors, and these have only been recently presented to His Eminence for his reflection. The Cardinal will also be heading to Rome in early October to participate in the Synod on the Family, and did not want to leave the Archdiocese so soon after the announcement is made. In light of these developments, the Cardinal feels it is essential that he has more time to consider carefully and thoroughly evaluate all that has been handed over to him. Hence, the announcement of the Cardinal’s Making all Things New decisions will be postponed to the beginning of November. The original date set to make the announcement was the end of September.

THE RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS The reception of Sacraments for Catholics, i.e. Holy Communion and/or Confirmation, as well as inquiring about the Catholic Faith for those who are not Catholic, can be accomplished through a process called “The RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS (RCIA)”. It has its roots in the early Church and is a faith process that will prepare adults for full reception into the Catholic Church while answering their questions and supporting them on their personal journey to a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. It is a process of prayer, discussion, study and celebration for:

• Adults who are not baptized and have a general

curiosity about the Catholic Church.

• Adults who are baptized Catholics, but are in

need of Sacramental preparation for Eucharist or Confirmation.

• Adults who are not Catholic and are married to Catholics and attend

Mass and other services/activities regularly, and would like to learn more about the Catholic faith.

• Adults who have children who are preparing to celebrate

Sacraments and wish to celebrate them as well.

• The desire to learn about the Catholic faith is a sign of the Holy

Spirit at work. The RCIA process recognizes that conversion begins by the Holy Spirit and is an ongoing process. It respects each individual’s response to this journey of faith and therefore is conducted in four periods so that participants may freely choose to enter into deeper study and faith sharing along the way.

Please call the Deacon Warren & Elizabeth Testa at 227-8380. Classes begin on Tuesday, September 23, 2014 at 7:15pm in the Convent Meeting Room.
