Sunday, April 10 with the eagerness of faith and love” and each one of the readings recalls what
7:30 am Clark Brandt Sr. Family Jesus has already done for us. The first reading describes God’s choice of

Edgar Ramirez Marquez us is a mystery. Inevitably we sometimes feel that He could have found better
people than us; but the reading reassures us: “Not as man sees does God see,
because man sees the appearance but the Lord looks into the heart”. We have
PARISH EVENTS to trust that God has a reason for inviting us into the Body of Christ. The
second reading encourages us to live up to our calling: “There was a time
Sunday, April 3 when you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Well, then, live as

HOW DO I BECOME A CATHOLIC?
♦ Are you interested in learning more
about the Catholic faith?
♦ Would you like to become a Catholic?
♦ Do you know someone who may be
interested?
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (R.C.I.A.) is a process of
conversion and initiation in the Catholic Church as adults (anyone
seven years of age or older) journey together in faith and share
experiences while discerning God’s call. If interested in participating,
please call the office. We will be happy to assist you on your journey.
DO YOU HAVE A CHILD, SEVEN YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER,
WHO HAS NOT YET BEEN BAPTIZED CATHOLIC?
Once a child reaches the “age of reason” (seven), the child is brought
into the Church just as an adult is—through the Rite of Christian Initiation
of Adults. Following this process of preparation which lasts about a year,
the child is fully initiated into the Church at the Easter Vigil through the
sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and First Communion. In order to
have a child baptized Catholic, at least one parent must be Catholic.
If you are considering having your child—age 7 or older—become
Catholic, or if you have any questions, please contact Sister Marie at
the parish office, 407.293.9556 ext. 121.
