Faith Formation

Dear Friends, I am Father Emanuel, Associate Pastor of Saint Joseph Catholic Church. I want to share our RCIA (Rite of the Christian Initiation for Adults) Program with you. Perhaps you have not completed your Sacraments of Initiation such as Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, or are interested in converting to Catholicism or know someone that would like to learn more about his faith. I invite you to prayerfully reflect on if RCIA may be the right step for you at this time.

Due to some transitions within the Communications Department, the weekly eLetter will be taking a 2 week break. Please see our website and social media accounts for the most up to date information during this adjustment period.

“Love your enemies.” We know it as one of the hallmarks of being Christian. But practicing it in the heat of conflict and in the face of our enemies is just plain hard. In First Samuel, we read of David being pursued by King Saul. Saul wants to kill him. He is David’s enemy. But David refuses to kill him, even when the perfect opportunity presents itself.

The Women's Council event, "Respect is the Heart of Love," took place on Saturday, Feb. 12 with Fr. Kartje.
