  • Rite of Christian Initiation

    • Welcome to the Catholic Church

      Questions? Contact Deacon Joe Standridge at jstandridge@stmarkdenton.org or 940-220-7160

    •  

      RCIA  (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) is for those adults who have never been baptized or who have been baptized in another Christian tradition and now wish to inquire into our Catholic Faith, or those who were baptized Catholic but did not receive further religious education to complete the Sacraments of Initiation (First Communion and Confirmation). 

      Meetings are held on Monday evenings from 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM.

      If you are interested  or have any questions please contact Deacon Joe Standridge at 940-220-7160 or via email at jstandridge@stmarkdenton.org

      I look forward to hearing your story and answering any questions you may have.  God bless.

  • IT TAKES A PARISH TO RAISE A NEW CATHOLIC!

    • "To convert someone, go and take them by the hand and guide them"   -Saint Thomas Aquinas

       

      The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA for short) is the process for welcoming new adult members into the Catholic faith community.  Because RCIA is tailored to the needs of the individual participants, it is a challenging process and requires the gifts and talents of the whole community to provide the spiritual and religious formation necessary for newcomers to become fully mature disciples.  During every step of their faith journey, those seeking communion with the Catholic Church need the whole parish to support them through prayer, example, hospitality and inclusion in parish activities, to celebrate with them the rites that mark their progress, and to offer their specific talents to the formation process.  Below are some of the formation aspects of RCIA that are seeking your specific gift and a brief description of the responsibilities involved.  Where do you recognize yourself?

       
      I.  Sunday Dismissal Leader - great fit for one who loves Scripture and desires to lead others to a deeper appreciation of how God shapes us through his Word.  Resource materials and training available.  Responsibilities include:
      • Leading a reflection on the Sunday readings with the RCIA candidates when they are dismissed from Sunday liturgy ("dismissed" because they cannot yet partake of the Eucharist)
      • Serving on a rotating schedule to lead the dismissals.  Dismissals will rotate between the Saturday 5 P.M., Sunday 9 A.M. and Sunday 11:30 A.M.and Sunday 4PM liturgies so that the whole community can see and get to know the RCIA candidates.


      II.   Sponsor - most suited to friendly and engaged parishioners who can introduce RCIA newcomers to parish life and activities.  A sponsor is one who will:
      • Befriend an RCIA candidate and offer the gifts of presence, emotional support, prayer, listening, and the personal witness of faith
      • Introduce their candidate to the wider community by inviting them to participate in parish events
      • Maintain regular contact with their assigned candidate, attend as many of the RCIA sessions as possible with their candidate
      • Participate in the public rituals that celebrate their candidate's deepening commitment to Jesus Christ and his Church


      III. Hospitality Minister - is your particular talent that of creating a welcoming ambience and planning parties worthy of celebrating conversion?  Responsibilities include:
      • Preparing and delivering a healthy snack to one or more of the Monday evening RCIA sessions.
      • Planning a celebration in honor of the newly baptized/professed members of the Catholic faith following the Easter Vigil.
       

      If one of the above categories speaks to your heart and you would like to offer your specific gifts to the RCIA this year, or if you would like to discuss a commitment further, please contact:

      Deacon Joe Standridge  940-220-7160
      mailto:jstandridge@stmarkdenton.org

       Thank you for your prayerful consideration.
