Becoming Catholic…
Inquiry and Formation Sessions
begin in September

For those who are seeking:
 A deeper relationship with God;
 A sense of belonging in a faith community;
 A greater fulfillment of your mission in life;

We invite you to consider becoming Catholic.  St. Charles has a spiritual formation process beginning in September for adults who were either never baptized, or who were raised in another faith tradition.  Based on the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA), our formation sessions give participants a solid grounding in the beliefs, traditions, and practices of the Catholic Church, and provide a safe environment for questions to be answered, concerns to be addressed, and faith to be nurtured.  If you are trying to discern whether God is calling you to the Catholic Faith, if you have questions about the Catholic Church, or how to become Catholic, you are invited to please call our Pastoral Associate, Beth Thompson, at 367-6704, or email at thompsone@archmil.org.  Let the Spirit be your guide!

…Embracing Your Faith
Adult Confirmation Sessions begin in September

For those who are lifelong baptized Catholics, but have not received the Sacrament of Confirmation.  St. Charles provides a spiritual formation process for non-catechized Catholics that is integrated with the “Becoming Catholic” program that is described above.  Participants support and sustain each other as they journey to a closer relationship with God, and learn more about their Catholic Faith.  For more information, you are invited to call our Pastoral Associate, Beth Thompson, at 367-6704, or email at thompsone@archmil.org.
