Last Sunday morning at the 9:00 AM Mass, we marked the powerful presence of God-with-us, Emmanuel, by a special communal ritual. This ritual is called the Combined Rite of Acceptance into the Order of Catechumens and Rite of Welcoming Candidates for Full Communion. It marks William Condon’s Larry Cook’s, and Rocco Fischetti’s first public declaration of God’s call to follow Christ. It also marks Diana Flounders’ first public declaration of her wish to live as a Catholic Christian.
We encourage all our parishioners to pray for them as they continue in the initiation process over the coming months, and to reach out to them as fellow members of the Household of the Faithful.
