Sacramental Formation

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)
Rite of Christian Initiation of Children (and Teens) RCIC

RCIA/RCIC is coordinated by a team comprised by a director and six to eight members, as well as sponsors for all inquirers.  This ministry guides all individuals who sincerely seek to learn about the Roman Catholic faith on a "Faith Journey", hopefully culminating with their reception of the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist) on Holy Saturday night at the Easter Vigil Mass.  Weekly meetings consist of instructions in the teachings, doctrine, traditions, sacraments, liturgy, etc. of the Roman Catholic faith.

Meetings:  RCIA--Monday, 7:00 p.m.;  RCIC--Tuesday, 5:30 p.m.

 

St. Jude's Baptism Team

This team of couples prepares registered parishioners for the Sacrament of Baptism.  Discussions are held on the parents; and godparents; responsibilities.  Details are given on scheduling the baptismal ceremony. Baptism class must be attended before a child will be baptized.

Meetings:  Last Thursday of every month

 

Sponsor Couples--Marriage Preparation

Martha Steffek, 866-2537

The Sponsor Couples program is one of the most popular forms of marriage preparation in the American Catholic Church--a form of one-to-one ministry.  A married couple in the parish welcomes an engaged couple into their home for three to five separate evenings, sharing their experience of marriage, while at the same time helping the engaged discuss important aspects of their present and future relationship. (We try to get our couples together once a year for a social.  It is a time to say thanks and to visit and share experiences encountered with the engaged.)  This is a fun ministry and one you can do together with your spouse.  In fact, married couples get more out of the program than the engaged in many cases.  This is a great way to spice up your marriage!
