RCIA CLass Material
Dear RCIA / Adult Formation members,
Below you will find the readings that we cover in our sessions.
FOR SHARING IN GROUP:
Read the readings from the last session. Reflect on each of them and ask yourself: What do I learn from this reading about God, myself, and the meaning of life?
For sharing in the group, choose ONE reading. Prepare to share your thoughts in 2-3 sentences based on ONE of the three questions (below). Never worry about sounding brilliant. It matters to the rest of us that you speak from the heart.
QUESTIONS (choose ONE):
Based ONLY on this reading, what can I say about…
1…God?
2…myself / humans?
3…what life is about? / …the meaning of life?

COnfirmation SaintChoosing a confirmation name is an important step on the path to living a devoted, holy life in the Catholic Church. Your confirmation name, typically the name of a saint, will serve both as a reminder to your commitment to God and as your inspiration for being a steward of the church. There are many methods for choosing a saint's name, such as picking based on shared traits and skills or finding your patron saint based on your birthday. The most important thing to keep in mind, however, is that you should think deeply and pray about your confirmation name.
Before you choose, take a look at the Saints we have at St. Luke. |
