RCIA
Are you interested in becoming a Catholic and being received into the Church? Perhaps you would like to inquire
into the basics of the Catholic faith? Maybe you are already a Catholic, and would like to know more about your faith and the teachings of our Church. Or maybe you never received the Sacrament of Confirmation, and would like to be fully initiated into the Catholic Church. If so, join us for RCIA/Inquiry classes on Tuesday evenings from 7:00–8:00 PM.
You are under no obligation if you attend. We will begin our journey of faith with an information session and overview of the classes next Tuesday, September 7, 2010 in the Parish Hall. All are welcome.
For more information call the Parish office at 478- 788-6386

SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASSES
Only 2 more weeks until C.C.D. starts - are your children registered?
Classes are for children from K-3 through 8th grade and meet in the schoolhouse from 11:15 AM until 12:15 PM.
Children will have their First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion during their 2nd grade.
We celebrate Confirmation in the 8th grade and please note that Mount de Sales students also need to attend C.C.D. Students must be enrolled for the whole school year in order to properly prepare for these Sacraments.
Registration forms are available in the Narthex..

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNTY
We also need volunteers to teach the children of our parish.  
Please consider this rewarding ministry.
