Faith Formation
The RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) Journey has begun here at St. John's and we have nine candidates who will be walking this path throughout the next eight months. They will be preparing to receive the Sacraments of Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation at the Holy Saturday Liturgy. We are asking the community of St. John's to hold in prayer all the candidates during this time. The conversion process is a time of turning to the Lord with an open heart.
We are also looking for dedicated members of the community who would like to act as a sponsor. If you feel called by the Spirit to respond to this invitation, please call the Faith Formation Office to find out how you can help. (651) 633-1540
