The RCIA process is for any adult who has never been baptized, or has been baptized in another Christian community and wishes to become a member of the Roman Catholic Church. It is also for those who have been baptized Catholic but have had no (or very little religious education) and have not celebrated Eucharist or Confirmation and desire to celebrate those Sacraments.
For further information, call either Fr. Detisch or Rebecca Flynn at the rectory, 456-6256.
Youth Group News
Humility….This word sounds weak to the normal teenager but in reality humility is the quality of being modest, reverential, even politely submissive, and never being arrogant. St. Thomas Aquinas, a 13th century theologian, defines humility similarly as “the virtue of humility” that “consists in keeping oneself within one’s own bounds.” The 3 behaviors of “True Humility” are:
- Submitting to God and legitimate authority
- Recognizing virtues and talents that others possess, particularly those that surpass one’s own, and giving due honor and, when required, obedience
- Recognizing the limits of one’s talents, ability, or authority; and, not reaching for what is beyond one’s grasp
The virtue is not discussed enough in our culture but with this tool at your side, you will be covered in graces to face most troubles in your life. I will leave you with the words of St. James, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
