RCIA: Journey to Becoming Catholic Coleman-Morse Center • 6:31-78oo ''I Believe. •• '' Eucharistic Adoration 11 :30 a.m. - 4:45 p.m. • by Fr. Gary Chamberland, c.s.c. Basilica of the Sacred Heart Rector, Keenan Hall & Assistc;~nt Director, RCIA 807 Mass 8:00 p.m. [NOTE: This column was initially written to appear just before Spring Break} Hammes Student Lounge This past Sunday, nineteen members of the Notre Dame community joined the Roman Catholic Coleman-Morse Center Church at the 11:45 a.m. Basilica Mass. After the homily, they were called forward and asked to join ROTC Senior Retreat with the assembly in professing the creed. Baptized Christians this served as a reaffirmation of their April12-13 faith. They were then invited to affirm that baptismal faith in the context of the Catholic Church. Moreau Seminary Together they proclaimed, " I believe and profess all that the holy Catholic Church believes, teaches and proclaims to be revealed by God," - a bold statement of faith and of confidence by the newest Freshman Retreat #41 members of our faith community.

It would be easy to dismiss such a 10:00 a.m. granted and, at times, not really even 330 Coleman-Morse Center statement as a simple liturgical formula cared about. Their presence calls us without much meaning or import. Yet, that casts a pall over all liturgical statements and to reflect on our own relationship with formulas.

Their presence calls us to reflect on our own relationship with Monday through Tuesday God and with the Church. 11 :00 p.m. -11 :00 p.m. In fifteen years of working with RCIA programs, I know that it is not an easy journey for those seeking to be Fisher Hall Chapel baptized or those desiring full communion in the Church. There can be a lot of dying to self along the way. Parents and family, though often supportive, do not always understand. The church's teaching challenges per­ sonal opinions and beliefs about morality, ethics, spirituality and dogma. American individualism meets communitarianism head-on and the dash can be difficult to negotiate. Truly, it is a leap of faith to stand before the gathered assembly and proclaim, "I believe and profess ..."And it should be, because faith is what it is all about. It was faith that led these men and women to the church in the first place and it is faith that will sustain them along the road of life. The process of formation and catechesis must be thorough in its attempt to expose the II Basilica ollha sacrad Haan enquirers to our beliefs and practices. But no program will give them everything; no process can remove all Saturday, April13 Mass doubt and fear. Ultimately, each person, after study, reflection and prayer must jump into the unknown reality 5:00p.m. of faith or not. Each of us, as Catholics, must make the statement with our lips, our heart and our lives, "I believe Rev. John H. Pearson, c.s.c. everything that the holy Catholic Church believes, teaches and professes to be revealed by God." That doesn't mean that we won't have doubts and questions or come to some degree of intellectual dissent.
