RCIA is the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults seeking to learn more about the Catholic faith. Our RCIA team at St. Vincent’s meets people where they are at in their faith journey and helps them discern and learn about the Catholic Faith. Every person’s journey is unique so our team responds to each person’s individual needs to grow in faith and grace. I have been blessed to be a part of these journeys over the last several years and in the leadership role for the last 6 years. This has been a rewarding, prayerful, evangelizing experience for me. As my RCIA team and our new Catholics know, one of my mantras is Family First. God gave us our family and we need to journey with them. With this in mind, I am stepping down from the leadership role and Tammy Stanek will take on this role for our parish. I hope to remain on the team as much as my availability allows as I have found many grace filled moments in this evangelization. If you have any questions or are interested in joining the team or becoming Catholic please contact the rectory.
To the Moms Who Are To the Moms who are struggling, to those filled with incandescent joy. To the Moms who are remembering children who have died, and pregnancies that miscarried. To the Moms who decided other parents were the best choice for their babies, to the Moms who adopted those kids and loved them fierce. To those experiencing frustration or desperation in infertility. To those who knew they never wanted kids, and the ways they have contributed to our shared world. To those who mothered colleagues, mentees, neighborhood kids, and anyone who needed it. To those remembering Moms no longer with us. To those moving forward from Moms who did not show love, or hurt those they should have cared for. Today is a day to honor the unyielding love and care for others we call 'Motherhood,' wherever we have found it and in whatever ways we have found to cultivate it within ourselves.
