A Call for Sponsors
The RCIA ministry is a process by which adults seek to become Catholic by journeying towards the Initiation Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist. A vital part of this ministry is YOU—the community—because you pray for and encourage these adults. One special way you can be involved is to consider being a sponsor: a calling from God to accompany an adult seeking what you already have. It has nothing to do with “worthiness” or “being an expert on Catholicism”: it is ordinary people expressing the extraordinary presence of God in their lives through faith, actions, prayers and a willingness to support someone else.
Next weekend, June 15th/16th , community members will give testimony to their faith filled experience being a sponsor. Hopefully their word of encouragement along with the help of the Holy Spirit will guide you as you prayerfully consider being a sponsor.
For more information contact Camille Grupy.
