You Are Here. Where Are You Going?

I went to Greece-Towne Mall not too long ago. I was looking for a picture frame and a birthday card. I was totally lost. The kiosks selling jewelry and engraving and watches were all up and down the mall. Where were the picture frames?

Coming to an intersection of hallways, I spotted a mall directory. I looked with relief at the red dot telling me “you are here”. Quick as a wink I spotted the index of stores and looked for “Michael’s” . . . down five stores on the right.

Don’t you wish it would be as simple to find our way in life as it is to find a certain store? . . . some red dot to tell me where I was and where I needed to go?

Well there IS something like that to help people clarify the faith they already have (where they are) and investigate what the Catholic Faith teaches (where God might be calling them). The class is specifically geared to adults who are searching but have not yet entered the Catholic Church.

Do you know someone who might benefit from such a discussion group?

Fr. John and Fr. Tim and other guest speakers will cover all the major topics of our faith: the existence of God, creation, the human being, Jesus, Resurrection, Eucharist and Sacraments, morality, social justice, the Church, the last things (heaven!).

The sessions are fun but at the same time they deal with the fundamental issues of human life and faith. Starting October 6 (three Sundays from now) at 12 noon, this group of inquiring adults will meet in the church. Let us know you’re coming so we can have materials ready (parish office # 265-1616) . . . . OR just come!

Why not join us for this hour? Ask your questions and hear what we’re proposing for you to learn more about the Catholic Faith. It’s called the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults).

Bless you every day.

Join us. Maybe you’ll find your red dot saying “You are here.”

Fr. Tim
