Parish Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults – RCIA Rite of Christian Initiation Adapted for Children Delhi Township, St. Dominic’s RCIA process continues year-round. Because of this, adults and children can begin at OH any time. Most who come to the Catholic Church as adults do so because God has called them through other people. If you know someone who may be interested in the Catholic Faith, ask him or her to call us, or ask if he or she would like for you to call and make the first “contact.” While new Inquirers can JuLY 2017 join the RCIA process at any time, because of our lingering “school year mindset,” many people begin to consider inquiring about the faith as the new school year begins. Now is a great time to reach out and mention becoming Catholic to someone you know who may be considering it! For more information, contact Theresa at 471-7741, ext. 418 or [email protected].

THE TORCH PAGE 4 JULY 2017 St. Dominic Parish School of Religion (PSR) Registration For 2017/2018 The mission of the St. Dominic Parish Community is the same as the mission of the greater Church – to bring about a connection with and response to God’s love in our world – and truly live out the Reign of God. We do this through the Sacraments, Scripture, Prayer and our interconnections with others – the family, the Parish community of Faith and the larger community and world. We welcome all registered parish families whose children attend public schools to attend our Parish School of Religion (PSR). The PSR staff and teachers are here to assist parents in their task of raising their children in the Faith. Instruction in PSR is offered during the school year (September-May) for children age 3 through 8th grade. There is special emphasis on the sacramental years, usually 2nd, 7th and 8th grades, with added activities for parents and candidates. Registration for the 2017/2018 school year will be online.
