MARK your CALENDARS
Are you interested in learning about the Catholic faith? Are you
looking into joining the Church? Are you a Catholic who has been away for
a while? Did you miss confirmation? Then the Rite of Christian Initiation
(RCIA) is for you. It begins with a cook-out on August 19th, at 6:30 p.m. on the back patio of Father’s
house (to the right of the Church when facing it from 3rd
street). You can bring any support that you need. RCIA sessions will
be held each Wednesday starting at 7 p.m. Attending the classes does not
obligate you to entering the Church at Easter. We look forward to seeing
you in August!

THEOLOGY and a PUB
June’s session of Theology and a
Pub asks a simple question "Catholic Media, Not an Oxymoron". It
seems that there are a lot of things in the popular media that are not exactly
in keeping with the teachings of the Church and the Church is being looked upon
in an unfavorable light in return. So, where we get our information and entertainment
affects our perception. How do we make sure we are receiving the right message?
Join us at Gresso's on June 16th at 7:30
p.m. to hear David Garick, editor of the Catholic Times, talk to us about Catholic
media in our diocese and beyond. Gresso's is located at 961 South High Street.
Doors open at 6 and food and drink are available for purchase before the talk.
For more information go to www.theologyandapub.org.
