RCIA
Are you interested in becoming a Catholic and being received into the Church?
Or perhaps you would just 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 beginning at 7:00 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 on Tuesday, September 13, 2011 in the Parish Hall. All are welcome, for more information call the Parish office at 478-788-6386.
 
MARRIAGE ENCOUNTER
Married Couples.
It has been said that the greatest gift you can give your children is two parents very much in love with each other.
Polish up this gift and put a bow on it at a Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekend.
You deserve the best and your children need to see you reaching for it.
For more information or to register for the October 7-9 weekend in Savannah, call Paul & Judy (904) 249-7171
or register online at www.jaxwwme.com
