NINETEENTH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME AUGUST 12, 2018

Come, join us ...

on a journey in faith

Do you know someone who is thinking about becoming a Catholic?

Have you drifted away from the Church but feel a pull to return?

Are you interested in what the Church teaches?

God may already be at work in your life, drawing you closer to Him and
his Church.

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is a program to help non-Catholics

and non-practicing Catholics learn more about the Catholic faith. People
of all religious backgrounds have joined an RCIA program.

Come, have a look. There is never any obligation to join the Church if
you’re not ready. Our first session will take place on Sunday, August 19,
at 10:45 a.m. in the Ministry Center.

For more information about our RCIA program, contact Deacon Bill at
619-818-0972.
