From the desk of Judy Ortiz, Director of CEP

This year has been a time of uncertainty and challenges for our communities, our schools, and our parish. Our worship and ministry space has been reduced and our faith formation for families is also being challenged in many ways. However, the mission of Christ continues forward. We have the promise that the Holy Spirit will always be with us.

St. Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians states, “I received from the Lord, what I also handed down to you.” Paul had the task of instructing his community on the Holy Eucharist. Paul was forming disciples. He was doing the work of God.

I believe that being a catechist is truly God’s work. I am asking you to pray that people will respond to the call of being catechist. Through this time of uncertainty and challenges, the Catholic Church continues to move forward. However, it takes committed catechists to help form the future of itsForms/Links disciples, the future of the church. If you are discerning your call to be catechist or have been called to be a catechist, please contact me at the parish office or by email. (210) 497-6101) judy.ortiz@shrineofpadrepio.com
 

Curious about the Catholic Faith?  Thought about becoming Catholic?   Do you desire to complete your Catholic initiation?  Or, do you know someone that is interested in becoming Catholic?  The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) is the program you seek.

What is the RCIA process?

• RCIA is a journey of faith which includes study, sharing, prayer and community building leading towards initiation in the Catholic Church.
• RCIA is appropriate for:
  • those who have never been baptized,
  • those who have been baptized in another Christian faith and would like to become Catholic; or,
  • those who were baptized Catholic but have not completed the sacraments of initiation (Confirmation and First Eucharist).

The RCIA program is offered in both English and Spanish.

If you have questions or are interested in the RCIA program, please visit the following link to fill out the RCIA inquiry form.  We are look forward to hearing from you!  https://www.shrineofpadrepio.com/rcia-inq

Do you feel called to serve in the RCIA ministry?
If you are a practicing Catholic who has a special calling in helping people journey through this process either through teaching, sponsorship or witness, please contact Maria Leija at marialeija5@yahoo.com or, (210) 986-8943.

My Jesus,
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.

Amen.
