Congratulations to the newly Baptized members of our community, Cassie Karambela and Krista Lowary, along with those fully initiated through the Sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist, Chelsea Kashergen, Heather Lazaro, Kristin Orosco and Gene Riddle. May God continue to bless you and shine His love upon you.
What is next for those who entered the Catholic Church this Easter? All who were baptized and received into full communion are called Neophytes in this period, until the anniversary of their initiation next Easter. The final period of regular weekly faith formation extends through the Easter season, the seven weeks from Easter to Pentecost. This post-baptismal catechesis is called Mystagogy. It is a time of deepening the Christian experience, especially in appreciation for the sacramental life, for spiritual growth, and for entering more fully into the life and unity of the Catholic community. The Neophytes now share with Christ, and his Body in the parish community, the intimate communion of the Eucharist. We as a parish community pledge to help them grow and mature in the Christian life and to develop a genuine Catholic world view. Please pray for all those who God has called to join us as we continue on our pilgrimage to our Father in Heaven. For more information on RCIA at St. Juliana Church please contact the Parish Office.
