indeed their “Father.”

27 families, providing $1,625 in food subsidies
and $867.63 for utility and rent bills, etc. Thank
you!

There are two positions in all and the requirements
and expectations are listed below. If you are
interested, please contact Dennis M. Mueller at 215637-3525 ext. 15 or at dmueller@stanselmparish.com.

What is RCIA?
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)
is the process established for the universal
Church for individuals to become Catholic and
receive the sacraments of initiation – Baptism,
Confirmation and Eucharist. This initiation
process also involves a parish community
experiencing a renewal in faith as it prepares
and welcomes new members into the Church.
The Rite speaks of conversion as a “spiritual
journey.”
Centered on fostering a deep
relationship with Jesus and the Church He
founded, this journey takes place through
distinct stages over a period of time suitable to
bring about a thorough catechesis, significant
experience of the parish community, and
commitment to the liturgical and moral life of
the Catholic faithful.
Who is RCIA for?
1. Persons in need of Baptism.
2. Persons baptized in another Christian
tradition who desire to become Catholic.
3. Persons baptized Catholic in need of First
Communion and/or Confirmation.
For more information, contact Deacon Jerry
Whartenby at the Parish Center, 215-637-3525.
Commitment: Tuesday evenings from 6:30 to 8 PM,
with an additional hour or two of lesson preparation
at home each week.
