St Isidore Catholic Church

RCIA Newsletter

Week of September 26 - October 2 2021

Greetings Participants and Parishioners.

Thank you to those who joined us last week. Joe and Matt gave a great talk about the sacrament of Communion and the Inquiry class learned more about Jesus as the second person of the Trinity.

This Wednesday, September 29, we will be meeting at 6:30pm in the Assisi Room. We will all meet together in the Assisi Room and then after opening prayer and announcements we will split up between Inquiry group and Catechumenate group.

Our Inquiry group will be discussing the Bible and Divine Revelation, be sure to bring your bibles. If you don’t yet have a bible, please let me know so we can bring you one this week.

The Catechumenate group will finish up their discussion on the Eucharist this week.

Don’t forget that every Sunday at 10am Mass we are meeting for “Breaking Open the Word.” After the priest’s homily, he will call forward all who are participating in RCIA. He says a blessing over you then dismisses you with one of our team members to meet together and discuss the bible readings that were just read at mass. It is a great opportunity for us to come together again during the week and it is an important part of your RCIA journey.

It is very helpful if you arrive to mass early so you can sit close to the front. It helps us know who is present and it’s a shorter walk for you when the priest calls you forward.

Today is the feast day of St Vincent de Paul. He is most know for his work helping the needy and the poor, which is why many Catholic churches have a St Vincent de Paul Society that continues his mission. Our own St Vincent de Paul Society operates a food locker for the local community in need. They are always in need of volunteers and donations, click the logo below to learn more.

I’m trying a new feature to better meet the needs of our participants. We don’t always allow adequate time for open questions during Wednesday nights and sometimes it is hard to ask a questions in front of a room full of people so I created a way to ask a question in the newsletter and we will try to answer it on Wednesday nights. The questions are anonymous but you must include which class you are in. Try it out below!

Don’t forget to check out Formed.org. There you will find amazing videos, audio books, and books about every topic related to the Catholic Faith. There are even movies you and your family can watch together. If you have a smart tv or Roku, you can get the Formed app and watch on your tv. If you have never sign in before, choose “sign up” then “sign up as a parishioner” and search for St Isidore Yuba City Church.
