It is not too late to join the RCIA process. Our next meeting is Thursday, September 22 at 7 PM in the Parish Hall. Our calendar for the year is attached.

We will not meet tonight, Thursday, February 24, 2011 due to concerns about the weather.

 

We'll carry over our discussion on the sacraments of marriage and holy orders to next week.  See you then.  Blessings.

Here it is...in regards to our talk about baptism this last week in January...got it at Maryville in Beaverton last summer...

'Question of the Day:  How do I know when I am transformed?

 

Paul uses a wonderful and telling phrase: "I no longer live, but Christ lives in me" (Galatians 2:20).  It is a radically different sense of self that he is trying to describe.  Until I have come to that realization myself, I have not been transformed, spiritually speaking.

Contemplative prayer draws us to our True Self, who we are "hidden with Christ in God" as Paul says in Colossians 3:3.  This is the only self that actually exists.  We came forth from God and our deepest DNA is divine.  We are not human beings trying to become spiritual; we are already spiritual beings and the  profound question is always, "What does it mean to be human?"  I believe that is why Jesus came as a human being and consistentlyl called himself a "son of man" more than the Son of God. -- Richard Rohr's Daily Meditations

I will try to continue to come to RCIA as work permits.

I'm sorry, the Legion of Mary members are from St. John the Baptist. Whoops!

Comment by Mary Ann Brewer on October 9, 2010 at 11:12am

I was just thinking of my daughter and her husband. However, they are in Christ the King Parish and have recently started going to church more often since they want to raise their children in the Church. They are missing out on much of the Faith Formation of their teen years and beyond, so they basically only have a grade school understanding of Catholicism. (I won't go into details here). Christ the King has a Welcome Home ministry and bringing back lapsed Catholics is what their Legion of Mary members are about.

Yes, "Welcome Home" sessions can be arranged. At this point, we are inviting parishioners to participate in RCIA. If there is enough interest, I would love to do "Welcome Home" for returning Catholics. Do you know of anybody who might be interested in these types of sessions?

Comment by Mary Ann Brewer on October 3, 2010 at 11:57am

I think it would be nice to have classes for Catholics who want to return to the practice of their faith. I know some parishes have this and call it "Welcome Home." Is that possible.

You are welcome to join us, Mary. If you like what you hear and see, maybe you will feel called to serve as a sponsor? (For more explanation, come to the information meeting on September 16.) One year, when your daughter and her husband are ready, maybe they will come as well.

Comment by Mary Ann Brewer on August 15, 2010 at 4:49pm

You can just call me Mary (everyone else does). My daughter and her husband are in Christ the King parish. For my own knowledge, I want to see what they will be "learning" so to speak, so I know how to ever so gently lead them to their own RCIA. They may even want to come to Resurrection (as long as I babysit, hee! hee!).
