Scripture Study:

This class is aimed at getting started in Bible study.  The focus is to learn more about Scripture from each other and through books, videos and audio recordings. Various discussions are organized throughout the year. The format is group discussion extended over a 6-10 week timeframe. All adults either from our Parish or friends from other parishes are welcome to come. Any high school student who has completed confirmation is also invited to attend with or without parents. We have had all levels of background in Bible study attend, from beginning to several years of study already completed. The group has benefited from a diversity of backgrounds and knowledge.

RCIA:

RCIA is the formation process by which adults are welcomed into full communion with the Catholic Church. Doctrines of the faith are taught which lead adults to the sacraments of initiation. Weekly sessions are held from late August through Easter on Tuesday evenings from 7:00 - 9:00. Adults wishing to become members of our faith as well as people who are interested in learning more about the Catholic faith are welcome to participate.

Landings:

Been away from the Church for awhile? Know someone who has been away?
You have Landed in the right place.

First, you are not alone in this. There are thousands among thousands of people who had for just as many reasons stopped participating in the sacramental life of the Church, and who now are hearing a whisper of longing to participate fully again.

It is a courageous time. It is a fearful time. A time of questions. The Holy Spirit works in wondrous ways. The Church wants you back. Welcome Home.
