RCIA
Our Lady of Peace has had an active RCIA program since 1989. We have helped over 65 people finish or start their journey toward becoming Catholic. Many of these individuals are now active in our Parish and involved in different ministries. WHO ARE WE? WE ARE YOU! Parishioners who have volunteered their time as team members and sponsors. And we could use your help. We are in need of additional team members and sponsors, individuals who would like to help their neighbor in Christ find their way fully into the Catholic Church. Team members would work with the group on a weekly basis from September to April. Sponsors for the catechumens and candidates are asked to walk with the candidates during their journey towards full initiation and a place at the Lords table. Please keep in mind that the commitment need not be on going but would be for one year. If you are interested or would like to learn more about the RCIA process, please contact a priest at the Rectory or Rosemary Murphy at 908-4646699.
Acts 20:35 "In everything I showed you that by working hard in this manner you must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"
