On Sunday, October 13 at the 10:30 a.m. Mass, we will celebrate the Rite of Acceptance for those who are to be accepted into the order of catechumens, along with those who are candidates for the sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist.
"Dear friends, the Church joyfully welcomes today those who will be received into the order of catechumens. In the coming months, they will prepare for their initiation into the Christian faith by Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist. We also greet those who, already one with us by Baptism, now wish to complete their Christian initiation through Confirmation and the Eucharist to be received into the full communion of the Catholic Church. For all of these, we give thanks and praise to the God who has led them by various paths to oneness in the faith. You are welcomed in the name of Christ."
