THE RITE OF WELCOME AND ACCEPTANCE took place at the 9:00 a.m. Mass on Sunday, November 20. After several weeks of sharing faith stories and Scripture, asking questions about and discussing Catholicism, seven adults have been accepted into the next phase of RCIA. They are: Maria H. Brown, Joann Gonsiewski, Megan R. Hennessy, Michael E. Luciw, Lauren Migliaccio, Linda R. Pisciotta and Bradley C. Young. During our Fellowship after Mass, we also welcomed a new Participant in the program, Katherine DeMarco.

During the upcoming time period, our catechumens and candidates will enter a time of formal instruction in the Catholic faith. Our role as a parish community is to support them with our prayers and to witness their continuing journey toward the Easter celebration of their initiation sacraments.

If you wish to know more about RCIA or participate in the upcoming formation sessions, please contact Fr. Ed Jocson through the Parish Center (908) 276-0360.  We give thanks and praise to the Holy Spirit who has led these brothers and sisters of ours from a variety of paths to a oneness in faith.
