Good Shepherd offers a two-phase program, beginning in September and continuing through the Easter Vigil, for those considering becoming Catholic:
Phase 1: Inquiring about Catholicism Offered on Wednesday evenings 6:30-7:45, these sessions are open to all who would like to know more about the Catholic Church. Come with your questions, large and small, and learn more about our Faith!
Phase 2: The Catechumenate / Candidate Once a person is ready to move on, the Catechumenate will further the teaching of the Gospels and Christian Life. This is a continual process, beginning in September, with ongoing catechesis and a developing cohesiveness within the group.
SCRUTINIES – special prayers during Mass at the 4:00 pm Mass at Good Shepherd Church.
Patron Saints Needed - RCIA Sponsor Team– We are inviting all who would like to help accompany adults/youth involved in the RCIA program by being on the RCIA Sponsor Team. Do you feel comfortable sharing your faith? Guiding others on their faith journey? Do you enjoy helping others discover the joy of serving others? Do you feel called in helping others to learn to pray and worship in the Catholic traditions? Can you help a candidate/catechumen explore the meaning of the Scriptures for daily life? These are some of the responsibilities of the RCIA Sponsor Team. If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, stop and listen to how God is speaking to you at this moment. Please contact Bill and Judy Hyde @ 410-378-3868
As our candidates and catechumens prepare for reception into the church we invite the entire parish to pray for them.
