Catholic Church course is now being offered

DURING THE 1960s and 1970s, many peopie grew up in homes in which religion played 2 very minor role.

Religious instruction was not given much attention and church attendance was occasional, if at all, Young people who did not have a religious upbringing show remarkable interest when religious matters are discussed.

Holy Trinity Roman Catholic Church, on 2725 Lonsdale Ave., begins a course on Tuesday, Sept. 15 for any person who is genu- inely interested in being initiated into the Catholic Church.

The course is called the Rite of Christian initiation of Adults (RCIA). Candidates for the RCIA are people who are not baptized in any faith, but it is also open to those who wish tu convert to the

Catholic faith from another Christian faith, and all Catholics who want to grow in their faith.

This is Holy Trinity’s second year to offer this course. Last year Hl adults were accepted into the faith.

There are four periods or stages in the course, each period involv- ing celebrations of advancement into the next period.

Integral to the course is conver- sion of mind and morals to the person of Jesus Christ.

Attention is given to church doctrine and the primary focus is on the person of Jesus. During the months of journeying with others who are taking the course, the candidate is to scrutinize his/her lifestyle and to bring it into con- formity with the teachings of Jesus and the Catholic church.

Candidates are not alone in this course. In addition to the teachers and other members of the class, there are sponsors from Holy Trinity who will help the can- didates grow in an understanding of the faith.

Members of the parish will assist candidates through counsel, prayer, and example to journey into the faith.

At the beginning of the course, candidates are given the chance to ask questions that have always perturbed them. Once disturbing questions have been at least ini- ually addressed, the course moves into the consideration of Jesus as Savior, the God-man who frees us from every form of oppression. This initial message of being set free offers hope and peace to troubled souls.
