Heavenly Father, Through all generations, You have chosen men to serve You by sharing in the Holy Priesthood of Christ, Your Son. We beg You to call men from our diocese to serve as priests at the altar, and to send Your Holy Spirit to help them discern Your call. Give them understanding to know Your will and courage to follow it. Pour out, too, Your grace upon women from our parishes to serve You in religious life, formed after the model of our Blessed Mother. We ask this through our eternal High Priest and King, Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

We encourage the enrichment of everyone's faith life and invite you, or someone you know, to Come and See, and consider the possibility of becoming a Catholic Christian. The Journey consists of a series of sessions that explore different aspects of the Church where you can learn, question and explore. We offer a low stress, no pressure opportunity to find out what being a Catholic Christian might mean to you. Sessions are held to fit into a schedule that works for all of us. OCIA is for: Adults and young people over the age of 7 never baptized who might desire to become a Catholic. Adults and teens baptized in another Christian church who might desire to become a Catholic. Adults baptized Catholic who have not received full reception into the Church through the Sacraments of the Eucharist or Confirmation. What is the next step? If you are interested in learning more about the Catholic faith, or may already be desirous of becoming a Catholic, please contact: Our Lady of Lourdes Church 860-464-7251 Josephine Cometa - gro.fglolo@off
