Is your knowledge of the Catholic faith a little fuzzy? Are you an RCIA graduate who would like to learn more about the beliefs and practices of the religion you have chosen?

Bible Study -

We just concluded a Bible study that focused on the Sunday Scriptures of Advent. We will do the same for Lent. More details to come. But if you are interested, please email beth.schuman@gmail.com to register!

Alpha is for everyone. If you are a life-long Catholic, Alpha affords you the opportunity to develop a more personal connection with Christ and a greater ability to share your faith with others. If you are not a churchgoer, or go only occasionally, or if you are asking yourself the big questions in life, Alpha allows you to ask your questions, express your doubts, and share your grievances in a non-judgmental atmosphere. Alpha is a series of films and guided discussions, enhanced with food.

At Assumption, we run Alpha each Fall. For more information or to register for September of 2026, email alpha@assumption-chgo.org

Our OCIA group of 18 Catechumens and Candidates participated in the Rite of Sending on Sunday, February 22,  before going to Holy Name Cathedral for the Right of Election and Call to Continuing Conversion.
