Are You Interested in Becoming
a Catholic?
Would you like to receive Holy
Communion in the Catholic Church? Do you desire to be baptized? Were
you baptized a Catholic but not raised in the Catholic Faith? Are you
married to a Catholic and desire to worship fully as a family at Immaculate
Heart of Mary? If you answered yes to any of these questions, the RCIA
program is for you. The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is a
discernment process with absolutely no pressure! For more information

RCIA class is now forming!
Vocations
Each baptized Christian is
called to follow Christ. While we all have a common calling, each of us is
unique, blessed with particular gifts and talents by the Lord. Using those
gifts according to God's plan, calls for discernment.
Some people in each community are
called to serve God through ministry in the Church. Some become priests,
others religious sisters or brothers, and still others serve as a layperson in
church ministry.
The scriptures today offer the
opportunity to reflect on God's call, the universal call of all the baptized and
the particular call given to each Christian. To what work is God calling you?
Prayer for Vocations:
Bountiful God,
You are
boundless with your blessings and faithful to your promises.
Through
our ancestors in faith, we have come to know and to trust in your
guidance
on our
life's journey.
At Jesus'
baptism you confirmed him in his mission. Commission us through
our
baptismal graces to follow
in the footsteps of Jesus.
Open our
hearts to recognize your holy calling.
Bless our
church with devoted married couples, holy single men and women, and
dedicated deacons,
priests, sisters and brothers.
Guide
those who are discerning how best to serve you.
With your
favor, we set out to proclaim your reign through Jesus, your beloved Son
in the power of your
Holy Spirit.
Amen
