Pray for us October 15, 2017 The community of Assumption Youth Ministry Calendar Parish takes to heart the call to be "living witnesses to God in the world". Therefore the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults HIGH SCHOOL (RCIA) is a community-based faith journey where the entire community nurtures all who seek to follow Christ as Oct 18 - Sophia House, Munch and Muse Bible Study pilgrims. This walk is not done alone. The community Oct 25 - "The Fake News" - Surfer Jesus! - Hall C accompanies each person and supports them by prayer Nov 1 - STUDIP while offering examples and instruction about our God Nov 8 - XTT: The Fake News "Jesus is a Friend of and our Faith. RCIA is time spent discerning through Mine" - Hall C scripture, prayer, questioning and dialogue whether the "walk of faith" each person takes leads them to join the @acygyouth Roman Catholic Church. @acyg.youthministry A Journey of Conversion: Like all journeys, RCIA Assumption Church Youth Group has a beginning, a path and a destination. It is a journey through four periods of awakening, growth and for- mation marked by celebration of three major rites in- volving the whole Assumption community. The periods are: Inquiry, Catechumenate, Purification and Enlight- Sacred Conversations on Race Task Forces enment and Mystagogia. We are in the Inquiry period. During this period, seekers ask questions about Christi- on Education anity and receive truthful, life sharing answers from The next meeting of the Sacred Conversations on Race Catholic Christians. The informal discussions during the Task Forces on Education, Public Safety and Housing inquiry period started in homes of team members. Now will meet on Tuesday, October 24th at 7 pm. in Hall A those groups come together each Sunday and learn how here at Assumption Catholic Church. All are welcome! Scriptures link to their personal life stories as witnessed and lived by and in the Roman Catholic communi- ty.
