Seminarian Education
OCIA Has Begun . . . But It's Not Too Late to Join!  
 

Not baptized? Not a Catholic? OCIA (The Order of Christian Initiation for Adults) is for those over the age of 18 who have never been baptized, were baptized in another Christian religion and are considering becoming Catholic, and for those who were baptized Catholic but received little or no religious education.  Those who choose to continue with the process normally receive the Sacraments of Baptism, First Communion, and Confirmation at the first Mass of Easter. For those age 8 to 18 who were never baptized or did not recieve their First Holy Communion, we have a special program for you. Contact Fr. Joe for more information.

Three of last year's OCIA members have joined the Hospitality Committee. Click the photo for a larger version.

Alpha Series Begins September 25  
 

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.

For more information or to register for September 25, email alpha@assumption-chgo.org
