Religious Education
Christian Initiation is a spiritual journey of adults and children. It is a process by which uncatechized individuals and individuals Baptized in another Christian denomination learn about the Catholic Church. Catholic sponsors who are willing to share their faith experiences with new members and journey with them throughout the process are always needed. Currently there are six Catechists in this ministry. We would like to see at least six more people to come forward as sponsors. By being a sponsor, one will determine if he/she would like to become a Catechist while mentoring a Catechuman. Participants need to be a practicing Catholic who is willing to share faith stories.
Those seeking to become Catholic may contact Rose Marie Focher at 814.944.3906 or the priests, Father Crookston or Father Spishak at 814.944.8509.
Preparation begins in grade nine. Contact Bernice Shoenfelt at
814.942.5659; she
coordinates this preparation process.
