Posted below are impending parish events. Please read the Bulletins for details on these and future activities.

PSR NEWS The first evening of PSR is Wednesday, August 22!! We are very excited about the start of our new PSR year of growing in our Catholic faith and parish community! Our August Catechist and Faculty Meeting is this coming Wednesday, August 8. Through the summer, we have had individual Catechist meetings and have worked on our lesson plans and curriculum goals. We pray to the Holy Spirit to guide us in the formation of our young Catholics. Please pray for us. Thank you! 

Journey in Faith A world of discovery awaits you in God’s family, the Catholic Church. Discover how much God loves you, through the gift of His Church. Journey in Faith and discover God’s Sacramental gifts of Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Communion. Journey in the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) and come home to God, in His Catholic Church. “Why aim I here?” “Is God real, and if so, why do I feel so alone?” “Why have some priests and ministers fallen into grave sin?” “Why does coming to Mass make a difference?” “Why have I never really committed to a relationship with God and his Church?” “ Why all the rituals and rules (you will be surprised by how few rules there actually are)?” These may be a few of your thoughts and questions as you journey in your faith. We would be privileged to walk this journey with you. Come home to Christ and discover your relationship with Him in the Church. Discover Him through the journey of RCIA, a place to learn and question and discover. We are here waiting for your questions with an open heart responding to the Holy Spirit’s call. Please come and visit and stay awhile. We will start with a night of inquiry on Wednesday August 29th and September 5th in the St. David Fellowship Center starting at 6:45 p.m. to ????, and will be continuing the journey each Wednesday night following our nights of inquiry. Hope to see you there! Your RCIA Team For additional information, please feel free to contact: Deacon Scott: 636-296-5485 ext. 7 Or Vince Amador: 314-660-5878
