Living Every Day with...Passion and Purpose
"You were born to become the-best- version-of-yourself!
This is your essential purpose and the most
important discovery you will ever make. Embrace
this one solitary truth and it will change
your life more than anything you have ever
learned. In every situation, simply ask yourself,
"Which of the options before me will
help me become the-best-version-of-myself?"

to combine storytelling with a profound understanding
of today's culture and uncanny insight into

is short and we are dead an awful long time,"
and shows us how to find lasting happiness
in a changing world, and inspires us to fall
in love again…with life. Themes for this

The Rhythm of Life; What Holds Us Back; The
Seven Levels of Intimacy; Be the Difference

RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION FOR ADULTS (R.C.I.A.)
This process is designed for persons interested
in becoming Catholic or enriching your personal
knowledge and understanding of our Catholic
faith. Inquirers gather with members of the
parish community and their sacramental sponsor
for a period of catechesis and enlightenment
as they journey with the parish through Lent
to the Easter Sacraments. At the Easter Vigil,
the Eve of Easter, these adults are fully
initiated into the Roman Catholic Church.
The period of catechesis is designed to expose
them to Catholic doctrine, worship and prayer,
the Church and the sacraments, especially
the Eucharist. RCIA classes will begin in
September through April in the Administration
Building.
Meetings: Wednesdays
Time: 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Location: Administration Building
Contact: Please contact Deacon Bob Friedman
