Rite of Christian Initiation
of adults
R.C.I.A               '09 - '10
RCIA at Our Lady of Lourdes
The community of Our Lady of Lourdes invites you to
experience our life together as a Christian family. You are
welcome to join a group of adults who want to explore the
Catholic way of life -- a journey guided by the Gospel of Jesus
Christ, and the teachings, traditions and practices of the Roman
Catholic Church.

This process, the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA),
begins with an inquiry phase, and then moves further into the
heart of our Faith. This is a time given over to questions and
observations about the Catholic Church and the Hebrew and
Christian Scriptures. Each session is topical, but is tailored to
the needs and questions of the participants.

The RCIA sessions take place Tuesdays, 7:00 to 8:00 p.m.in
Our Lady of Lourdes Parish hall. An introductory session will
take place on September 29, 2009.This will be an opportunity
to meet the RCIA team members and others who are interested
in the process, and to learn more about Our Lady of Lourdes
Parish, & the RCIA methods and resources we use.

If you would like to learn more about the Catholic faith,
(whether you are interested in becoming a Catholic or not)
please call Fr. David Young at 419-634-2626 and/or join us on
Tuesdays, at 7:00 p.m., beginning in September in our parish
hall (located adjacent to the Church).
