Bible Studies
Each year we offer a 20-week Bible study on a different part of Scripture. This past year we did Jeff Cavins' study on the Gospel of Matthew. Sessions are available from 10:30am-Noon and from 6:30-8:00pm in Emily's Room in the Angelorum of church.
Some parishioners also have started small-group Bible studies. These groups pray with parts of Scripture and also spend time in small groups growing in prayer and in community.
For more information on how to join one of the Bible studies, contact the parish office. -
RCIARCIA stands for the Rite of Christian Initation of Adults. It is the process by which an unbaptized person enters the Catholic Church through the Sacrament of Baptism or by which a baptized person comes into full communion in the Catholic Church through the Sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist.
There is no set timeframe for how long the process lasts, but it usually lasts about 9 months. RCIA candidates meet with Fr. Sebastian once a week for 90 minutes in English and with Joy Orozco in Spanish to help go deeper in their faith and to learn more about the Catholic Faith. Catholics are welcome to attend the sessions, as well, to continue learning about the Faith. The RCIA process culminates with the Easter Vigil when the RCIA candidates receive Baptism, Confirmation and/or Eucharist.
If you are interested in joining the Catholic Church, contact Fr. Sebastian or Joy Orozco. -
That Man is You
That Man Is You is a group of men who meet on Wednesday mornings at 6:00 am in Emily's Room in the Church Angelorum. They gather for breakfast, watch a short video on a topic of Catholic manhood and masculine spirituality, and then have a small-group discussion at the end. Meetings end by 7:30 am. If you miss one week, you are welcome to come the next! For more information, contact the parish office.
