As members of the body of Christ we are called to be an evangelizing community that nurtures ongoing parish renewal and growth. The evangelization team participates and gives focus to this renewal by fostering parish collaboration and outreach which nurtures an atmosphere of welcome, education, and active participation in liturgy. The team will also seek to empower a “culture of the Eucharist” as the summit of the parish life.

One of the problems facing the Church today is an insufficient number of men and women entering religious life. The Vocations Committee seeks to foster an awareness of vocations within our parish, to encourage people to prayerfully consider what their vocation is, and to work within the parish community to encourage ongoing prayer for priestly and religious vocations. Please consider assisting the committee in developing active vocations awareness in our parish.

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) offers a series of weekly study, prayer and reflective presentations developed to provide non-Catholics with a greater understanding of the Catholic faith. This program presents an in-depth study of the practices, beliefs and customs of the Catholic faith. It provides the process through which individuals can convert or join the Catholic Church. In addition, baptized Catholics who have not received all the sacraments are welcome to rediscover their faith and commitment to Christ through the RCIA process. RCIA also provides a great opportunity for those married into a Catholic family to learn about the Catholic faith without any obligation of conversion. This class meets on Thursday evenings 7:00 to 9:00 from September through May. The RCIA team has a hospitality committee that is responsible for setting up before Thursday classes, preparing snacks and beverages, and assisting with retreat preparations and luncheons.
