Evangelization

Adult Enrichment Opportunities enable parishioners to join together and grow in faith through lifelong formation. We do this by studying and exploring the Bible and the doctrines and rich traditions of our Catholic faith. Gathering in groups provides the opportunity to grow in faith and learn along with other parishioners of our parish community. These gatherings help foster a familiar and personal group setting. Adult Enrichment Studies are sometimes held in the comfort of a parishioner’s home who has volunteered to be the host home for the study.

Responsibilities: To have a meeting area available for groups to come together on a weekly basis. Information and materials will be provided.

Cursillo Sponsor Application

Sponsors play a crucial role in the Christian initiation process as they guide and mentor Catechumens and Candidates seeking to become Catholic. They are called upon throughout the process to give testimony to the progress and readiness of participants and serve as a guide and connection between the participants and the parish community. Sponsors assist a Catechumen or Candidate by accompanying them along their faith journey through the different periods of the RCIA process.

Who: A Sponsor must be at least 16 years of age and a fully initiated Catholic, having received the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. Each sponsor must be an active, practicing Catholic in good standing and if married they must be married in the Catholic Church.
Responsibilities: Sponsors attend weekly sessions along with Catechumens and Candidates to help reinforce the Catholic faith and traditions. The role of a sponsor is to become familiar with the stages and periods of the Christian Initiation process, commit to daily prayer for the person they are sponsoring, and to help draw that person into the life of the parish.
Time: Attend weekly RCIA sessions presented and facilitated by the RCIA Team — 2 hours a week; must also attend various Liturgical Rites which take place during Mass at different times throughout the year.
