St Isidore Catholic Church

RCIA Newsletter

Week of September 12-18 2021

Greetings Participants and Parishioners.

We had such a great class last week. Thank you Maddy for bringing a birthday cake to share and help up celebrate Our Lady’s birthday!

Don’t forget, we started “Breaking Open the Word” this Sunday. During the 10am mass 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. If you did not make it last Sunday, please join us next week.

It is best if you sit as close to the front as you can so you don’t have as far to walk up front when the priest calls you forward. The RCIA team will be seated up front as well so just look for us!

This Wednesday, September 15, 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 answering the question, “what is original sin?”. Here is a short video from Father Mike Schmitz on topic:

Our Catechumenate group will be continuing our discussion on the Sacraments as we take a deeper look at the sacrament of Confirmation. Confirmation is one of the 3 Sacraments of Initiation, along with Baptism and Holy Communion, that you are working toward receiving during Easter.

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.

Lastly, if you haven’t started watching The Chosen series, you are missing out! This multi-season show is all about the life of Christ has his disciples. It is the best thing I have ever watched about the life of Christ and it truly makes the stories from the gospels come to life! You can watch it free on YouTube or on their app called The Chosen.
