All Young Adults Welcome!
Here is a list of upcoming events for the St. Mary's young Adult Group, or that St. Mary's young adults are welcome to take part in. The St. Mary's Young Adult Group is now on Facebook, so don't be shy about joining our group! It's another way to stay up to date with what we are doing, and we love it when you post pictures from events! We are delighted to finally have a St. Mary's Young Adults group email address, and you will are able to send any questions or input you have.
Upcoming Events:
We are going to the Boardwalk on Friday, July 30, this time for an Eddie Money concert. We will meet in front of St. Mary's at 6pm.
In late August we are planning a Faith-Sharing event. We will have a pot luck lunch at Vasona or Oak Meadow park after the 11:15 mass, and get to explore our faith together amidst the park's beautiful setting.
BECOMING CATHOLIC AS AN ADULT
If you are engaged or married to a Catholic and have thought about converting to Catholicism, or if you are spiritually attracted to the Catholic faith, you are welcome to participate in the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) process. In a supportive small group setting, those who want to join the Catholic Church meet to learn about scripture, the history of our Church, our forms of prayer and devotional practices, and our understanding of community and social justice.
Each person who joins the RCIA process needs a Catholic sponsor to serve as a spiritual mentor. Lifelong Catholics and those who went through the RCIA process in the past discover that being an RCIA sponsor is a wonderful way to reconnect with their faith and to share that faith with someone who is eager to become part of our religious community. To join the RCIA process to to volunteer to serve as a sponsor, contact Rose Anna Higashi at 354-4061, x135.
