A Downloadable Invitation for Friends and Family

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. I am with you always, until the end of the age.   Matthew 28:19-20

Inviting Friends and Family to Consider the Catholic Church

In the above passage from the Gospel of Matthew, Christ directs his disciples to “go” out in all directions with a specific goal in their hearts: to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ – his Gospel and bring people into relationship with God. Their mission belongs to every disciple of Jesus Christ - that is each member young and old.

 Is God calling YOU to Become Catholic?

It begins with an awareness.… or stirring in one’s heart for something more? It could be a curiosity or a sense of longing for fulfillment.  Maybe it’s God calling you to explore the life of faith, love and justice within the community of the Catholic Church.

The formal name of this exploration is: The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)

It is a special time set aside to look within, at your own life story, experiences of sacred and profound moments, encounters of God and see connections to, or needs for the gospel story of Jesus Christ through the Catholic Faith. We present our full Catholic Tradition in a way that is personal and building of community relationships.

If you think God is calling your to something more, let us know, we want to help! Contact Sharon Bogusz: 724-539-8629, x 16 or email Sharon.
