All Young Adults Welcome!
We invite all young adults, primarily individuals in the 20-39-age range, to join us! Officially known as the SFSYA group (Social, Faith Sharing and Service Young Adult Group), We meet regularly for fun events, service projects, and to share our faith experiences with one another. Based out of St. Mary's Parish in Los Gatos, all young adults are welcome to attend. We especially welcome our brothers and sisters from neighboring parishes in deanery number five, including: Sacred Heart, Church of the Ascension, St. Joseph of Cupertino, Queen of Apostles, St. Martin of Tours, St. Lucy's, St. Thomas of Canterbury, and St. Frances Cabrini, among others. For more information about upcoming events, contact Chris Miller at camillerlg@aol.com or 408-395-7949.
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.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.
