All too often we hear people say that there simply aren’t enough opportunities in a Parish for on-
going adult education in the Catholic faith. How blessed we are, because here at St. Stephen’s that’s
not the case.
We are beginning our very popular “Why Catholic?” program which is conducted by a variety of
people at various times during the week. Information is available after all the Masses today. Or you
can see Danny Judd for additional help.
We also have our Adult Bible Study class conducted by Sister Rita on Thursday nights. During
these sessions, students get a preview of the Gospel for the upcoming week; they have an opportunity to reflect on and discuss the meaning
of the selection.
Of course, our Men’s Prayer group continues to meet on Saturday mornings after the 8:30 Mass. Not only do the men pray together, but
they conduct an in-depth Scripture study with the assistance of our Deacons.
And for those who are not fully initiated into the faith, we have the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) program, led by Sister Rita
and a team of lay people who prepare the candidates to receive sacraments at the Easter Vigil.
Father Alex is now beginning a Friday evening Faith Study Class, which will cover an extremely wide number of theological topics. Further
details will be found periodically in our Church bulletin.
As you can see, there is a great variety of offerings, led by a large number of people on different days and evenings. We are hoping that
with so much from which to select, those who want to continue their Catholic education will find at least one program to suit their schedule
and interests.
Watch the bulletin for on-going information on all these wonderful programs for adults.
