Today the Catholic Church celebrates Catechetical Sunday. Saint Theresa Parish is richly blessed to have so many people who give generously of their time and talent each week by volunteering in the Religious Education endeavors of the parish. RCIA is the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, a process by which adults after hearing the mystery of Christ proclaimed, consciously and freely seek the living God . . . By God s help they will be strengthened spiritually during their preparation and . . . The RCIA program includes people who were never baptized, those who were baptized in another faith, those who were baptized Catholic but have never received the sacraments of Eucharist or Confirmation.
Instruction begins in the fall.
May they always be the best of teachers, bearing witness to the faith by what they say and do, in Christ Jesus our Lord. St. Theresa Parish supports parents as the primary educators of their children and takes seriously the obligation to assist them in the faith formation of their young children and teens. Jesus is at the heart of all religious education. We are preparing students for discipleship and citizenship. Participation at weekly Mass and prayer in the home are integral to the spiritual growth of children and teenagers.
