St. Mary offers Christian initiation program
St. Mary Church in Hudson will begin its 2010-11 Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults program Aug. 31.
This is a communal process with four key stages:
* Inquiry, when those interested can learn more about the Catholic faith and ask questions;
* Catechumenate -- for those who choose to remain in the RCIA process, the learning continues with a stronger focus on education and developing a deeper understanding about what it means to be Catholic;
* Purification and Enlightenment -- the final steps leading up to receiving the sacraments; and
* Mystagogy. During this post-initiation stage, participants explore ways to live this new life and join a new Christian community more fully.
There is also a Rite of Christian Initiation of Children which runs concurrently with the adult session.
Classes at St. Mary Church, 340 N. Main St., will begin Aug. 31 from 7 to 9:15 p.m.
Call Donna Rakotci at 330-715-1262 or e-mail her at drakotci@roadrunner.com for more information.
Series on Beatitudes continues in July
The Rev. Sue Tinker of the Presbyterian Church of Hudson PC (USA) will continue a series of sermons based on the Beatitudes on July 18 at 10 a.m. with the thesis that once we are yoked to Christ, his gracious character begins to form in us. The church will look at persecution and blessings.
The Session will meet July 20 at 7:30 p.m.
The church will have a tent at the Hudson Farmers Market July 24 from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
