We wish to extend the warmest of welcomes to our newest adult members of the Catholic faith and of Nativity of Our Lord! Read their personal statements of their faith journeys through our Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) program. Many thanks to all for your support and prayers for our newest members!
Each year, the Catholic Church in the United States designates this third Sunday in September as Catechetical Sunday. It is a day to celebrate and pray for the Church’s mission to teach the Gospel to all people.
Sunday at the 11:00 AM Mass we celebrate the Rites of Acceptance and Welcoming for our RCIA Catechumens and Candidates, an essential step along the way towards full initiation into our Catholic Church.
RCIA is the process by which persons who were never baptized, or were baptized in another Christian tradition, become members of the Church, a people on pilgrimage to our Heavenly Father.
I am Mahalia Marcelin, a servant of the Lord, serving as your Director of Faith Formation. It is an honor to serve Christ with you at Nativity of Our Lord.
by Katie Schaitberger, Director of Faith Formation
We are blessed to have four individuals prayerfully discerning in our RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) process. Please pray for each of our Elect and Candidates as they make their final steps towards Easter.
On the occasion of his retirement, Communications Director Isaac Huss asked Faith Formation Director Randy Mueller to reflect upon his time at Nativity of Our Lord.
It has been my personal pleasure to work with Randy for the past decade or so as he has led some of the most important parts of our mission here at Nativity.
Please pray for our 16 catechumens and candidates as they seek deeper conversion to Christ and his Church, and may their collective enthusiasm and desire for the sacraments encourage us all.
Do you or someone you know desire to become a Catholic or learn more about the process? Nativity’s RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) program begins on September 11.
We would like to extend our congratulations to our Baptized, Confirmed, and Newly Professed Adult Catholics who were received into the Church during our Easter Vigil celebration.
