Adult Education

Adult Spirituality: Journey & Opportunity

 Everyone’s experience of coming to faith & accepting God’s invitation to grow in faith is unique, but some common patterns are the following:

 A need for relationship...with Jesus or perhaps with a member of their family or friend who is a practicing Catholic...

 A feeling of emptiness... perhaps searching for a purpose, meaning in life....

 A need for community...to belong to the community of Jesus’ disciples, to have connectedness with others in a worshiping community....

 A need for a sacramental life...found in the powerful and profound ritual of the Catholic church..

 Lives that are changing, transforming...new marriages, new babies, new age in life, new moves...

 We have 3 processes here at Queen of All Saints that try & address these and other adult issues...

 RCIA   - Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults - The program starts on Wednesday September 8th 2010 from 7:00p - 9:00p and each Wednesday thereafter in the Hennessy Room. Specifically for those adults who would like to prepare for the sacraments of  Baptism, Communion and Confirmation into the Catholic Church.  

Adult Confirmation -  For adults who have been baptized and received communion, but  who have never received the sacrament of Confirmation.  

 Welcome Home - For those Catholics who have received  the sacraments of Baptism, Communion or Confirmation but who have been away from the church for whatever reason.  We welcome you back and would like to hear why you went away update you on current liturgical practices and help you come back with the community.
