For more information on any of these ministries, read the information below, or call the Parish Office.
Christ Renews His Parish
Christ Renews His Parish (CRHP) is an effective spiritual renewal process which calls together the members of the parish in order to experience personal conversion and Christian community in the environment of our own parish. It is a personal rebirth and parish revitalization. There is a renewal weekend for women and for men. For more information please contact Scott Steinke (click name to email) at 777-6433, ext. 115.
RCIA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPvhIouj3Pg
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is a formation process that affords participants the opportunity to grow in their relationship with God. Primarily it is designed to help non-Catholic adults discern whether or not the Lord is calling them to become fully initiated members of the Catholic Church. The process is also helpful for adult Catholics wishing to grow in their own Catholic faith. The adult RCIA meets weekly on Thursday nights from 7-9 p.m. in Spirit House beginning in September. The RCIA for children meets on Sunday mornings from 9:30-10:30 a.m. beginning in January. If you wish to register for the RCIA or have any questions about the RCIA, please call Caitlin at 513-777-6433 ext. 121 or e-mail at ccipollamcculloch@stjohnwc.org.
Small Church Communities
Small Church Communities meet periodically in the intimate setting of a parishioner's home. The frequency of meetings is determined by each group. Various resources are used to enable the participants to share their faith journeys with each other. If interested or for further information, please call Caitlin at 513-777-6433 ext. 121 or e-mail at ccipollamcculloch@stjohnwc.org.
Generations of Faith
• An innovative approach to faith formation for all members of a community
• A time for people of all ages to share faith and values, and to pass them on to the next generation
• A way to build up and nurture your faith and the faith of your family
• A opportunity for household members to learn together
• A chance to take the learning home with you (Take-Home Kits)
• An occasion for people to spend time together!
Check back soon for upcoming dates for this liturgical year. For more information please contact Joan Seibenick at jseibenick@stjohnwc.org.
