HOW DO I BECOME A CATHOLIC? P Fr. Augustine Clark, Parochial Administrator

♦ Are you interested in learning more
about the Catholic faith?
♦ Would you like to become a Catholic?
♦ Do you know someone who may be
interested?
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (R.C.I.A.) is a process of
conversion and initiation in the Catholic Church as adults journey
together in faith and share experiences while discerning God’s call. If
interested in participating, please call the office. We will be happy to
assist you on your journey.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DO YOU HAVE A CHILD, SEVEN YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER,
WHO HAS NOT YET BEEN BAPTIZED CATHOLIC?
Once a child reaches the “age of reason” (seven), the child is
brought into the Church just as an adult is—through the Rite of
Christian Initiation of Adults. Following this process of preparation
which lasts about a year, the child is fully initiated into the Church at
the Easter Vigil through the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation
and First Communion. In order to have a child baptized Catholic, at
least one parent must be Catholic.
If you are considering having your child—age 7 or older—become
Catholic, or if you have any questions, please contact Sister Marie
at the parish office, 407.293.9556 ext. 121.

MIDDLE SCHOOL YOUTH GROUP!!

of a civil marriage and sometimes with the
annulment of a previous marriage as long as the
civil divorce is complete.
Baptism Preparation is offered to parents and
godparents and is required prior to scheduling a
baptism. Please register for the class by calling

PARISH MISSION WITH A DIFFERENCE!

Sunday-
Sunday-Tuesday, DECEMBER 5—
5—7, 2010
7:00 pm

Each Advent we have a Parish Mission.

Advent is a time when we think of Mary and Joseph waiting for the child Jesus to
be born and on the first Sunday after Christmas we remember the life of the Holy
Family. That’s why this year’s very practical Mission about family life goes to the
heart of the season and the heart of the world. Pope John Paul used to say “As the
family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world”; that means this Mission is for all
of us. The talks by experts from the Counseling Center at Catholic Charities will take place at 7
p.m. on the evenings of Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, December 5h through 7th, in the
church. Join us, and invite your friends.

Talk 1 Finding the right life partner (aka “How to avoid falling for a jerk or jerkette”).
Good marriages are the foundation of good families.
This talk by Cheryl Entner, MS, IMH, and Frank Crane, LMHC is designed to provide
singles (and singles-again) with a plan for pacing relationships and exploring the key
areas that foreshadow what a partner would be like in marriage. If you are on “jerk-
alert” you can avoid a lot of heartache. Bring your teenagers to this talk!

Talk 2 How to cope in today’s world.

Modern life is not easy and our stress levels have been heightened by the recession.
Cheryl Entner, MS, IMH, and Frank Crane, LMHC, LMHC encourage us to look after ourselves
and our own sanity so that we can be at our best and give of ourselves more generously.

Talk 3 How to parent with confidence.

For most people the greatest work they will do in their lives is to raise children and bring
them to mature adulthood. We know it’s not easy! Cami Tarasewich, MSW, MSW draws on
her experience of the best and worst of parenting. Parents, grandparents and all who
interact with the young can learn from this talk.

A collection will be taken at each talk and will be used to help families access
the services of the Counseling Center at Catholic Charities of Central Florida.
