Invite a Friend to Become Catholic!

Posted on by

As Christians, we are invited to share the Good News with others. Today this can be done by inviting someone to consider joining the R.C.I.A. in the parish where they would like to attend Sunday Mass. The “R.C.I.A.” is the Rites of Christian Initiation of Adults. Through the celebration of these rites in their local parish community, individuals become members of the Catholic Church through their local parish community. These rites are accompanied by a catechetical process which educates those who are becoming Catholic in the teachings of Christ and the traditions of the Church that He established to continue His mission and spread the Good News.

Here at St. Peter’s those who wish to become Catholic are invited to begin attending Mass in our parish community each Sunday. As they do this, they are accompanied by the R.C.I.A team and meet on Tuesday evenings to learn about our faith, deepen in a prayer relationship with Jesus, and discover how they can find their place in our Christian community through Sunday worship, service of neighbour and prayer. The R.C.I.A. at St. Peter’s will begin in September. The group will meet throughout the length of the school year. The Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist) will be celebrated at Easter (April 19, 2025) and the group will continue to meet until the end of the Pentecost season (June 2025).

For those already Baptized in another Christian denomination a shorter path towards joining the Catholic Church may be possible, depending on their previous faith formation.

If you know anyone who might be interested in becoming Catholic, please invite them to consider joining the R.C.I.A. at the parish where they wish to attend Sunday Mass. If they wish to do so here at St. Peter’s, please have them give Fr. Michael a call for more information (416-534-4291, ext. 211).

And Jesus could do no deed of power there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and cured them (Mark 6:5)

Last weekend, our parish celebrated the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul. Because of this, we heard a Gospel passage read which normally occurs a little after the scene that we hear in today’s Gospel passage. Just as a reminder, the passage that we heard last week, on the Solemnity of Peter and Paul, had Peter confess that Jesus was the Messiah. In the homily, Father Brook Stacey sj, asked us who is Jesus to us and how do we act as a result of this profession of faith. Continue reading →
