"Step by Step"--continuing faith formation for new Catholics
“Step by Step”: A slow journey through the Catechism [PLUS Catholic Q&A]
[Especially geared for brand-new Catholics as well as ALL Catholics seeking a refresher on the Catholic faith]

Beginning 7 p.m. Monday, November 3, continuing on subsequent first Mondays throughout the year.

The simple plan for “Step by Step” is to WALK (not run) through the Catechism by using the question-and-answer-format Compendium to the Catechism, which is a “thinner” and easier-to-use book that covers the full content of the big, thick “Catechism of the Catholic Church”. If you have become Catholic recently through RCIA, this is THE next stop along the way, designed to foster an ongoing interest and formation in the faith through the simplest means possible—picking up the Compendium to the Catechism, starting at the beginning, and walking and talking our way through it from session to session (each of these sessions will last only an hour). There is no rush and no deadline—and no need to make EVERY session every month if you can’t. Just come when you can. But—do come!  

PLUS, after the hourlong “walkthrough,” we stop and throw the rest of the time back to YOU! That’s right, we’ll answer all your Catholic questions—whatever the topic—each first Monday of the month after our “Step by Step” offering.

Candidates for the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) are those who are not presently Catholic but are thinking of joining the Catholic Faith. Those who are already baptized and wish to join the Catholic Church, as well as adult Catholics seeking the Sacrament of Confirmation, also participate in this annual initiation and formation journey. 

RCIA 2008-2009 has begun (September 28) and is now underway--if you'd like to know more about RCIA, please consider joining us in the journey on Sunday mornings from 8:45 a.m. until about 10 a.m., or just contact me (Deacon Russell) using the contact info on this page. Thanks and God bless!
