Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

Rito de Iniciación Cristiana para Adultos

We are now accepting registrations for adults who have not received or are

missing any of the Sacraments.

INVITE YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS

PROGRAM

Estamos aceptando registraciones Para los adultos que no han recibido

o les falta alguno de los Sacramentos.

INVITE A SUS FAMILIARES Y AMIGOS A QUE PARTICIPEN EN ESTE PROGRAMA

Every “Yes” to God is a step toward Heaven, toward eternal life. Because this is what the Lord wants: that all His children may have life in abundance.

God wants us all with Him in His house! (Pope Francis, August 15, 2013)

My friends, if you, a family member, a friend or a coworker has not yet received the

sacraments of Baptism, First Holy Communion, or Confirmation, we would like to help everyone say “Yes” to God and to take that further step toward heaven by inviting all to participate in our Cathedral Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults program. This dynamic program, which begins in the fall and is offered in both Spanish and English, concludes at the Easter Vigil with our Bishop celebrating the sacraments of Baptism, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation. There is no more powerful and beautiful liturgy than the Easter Vigil!

Our faithful team of R.C.I.A. leaders is looking forward to accompanying you, your family

member or your friend in this journey of faith! Nobody can get to heaven alone. To be Catholic means to offer to another the company of faith. And that is what this program is all about. It is about getting to know the stories of one another and then sharing the very reasons for our belief and our faith. What a blessing it will be for us to get to know you, share with you the beauty of our Catholic faith, as well as the warmth of the St. John’s Cathedral community. But most of all, those who choose to enter this journey of faith will be heavenly blessed by receiving the sacraments of the Church, most especially the Holy Eucharist. For as Pope Benedict had said:

“There is nothing magic in Christianity. There are no short cuts, but everything passes through the humble, patient logic of the grain of wheat which dies to give life, the logic of faith which moves mountains with the meek strength of God. For this reason, God wishes to renew humanity, its history and the universe by means of this chain of transformations of which the Eucharist is the sacrament.”

The sacraments of the Church have the power to bring heaven to earth, to rip apart the veil

that exists between the things unseen and seen. The sacraments allow humanity and eternity to commingle in mysterious, yet tangible ways. Through the sacraments, heaven comes to visit and to dwell with us and within us. In the sacraments we can hear the words of the Father spoken to His Son when He was baptized by John in the Jordan, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.” How we all need to hear those heavenly words of truth and love. And how blessed we are to hear them in the sacraments of the Church!

This weekend, at all of the Masses, a form will be distributed to all those interested in joining

the R.C.I.A. program and receiving the sacraments of the Church. This form will provide us with the information needed in order that one of our team members can contact you directly regarding this opportunity of grace. On behalf of our team, we look forward to joining you in this journey of faith!

Msgr. Geno Sylva

From the Rector’s Desk

Todo "Sí" para Dios es un paso hacia el Cielo, hacia la vida eterna.

Porque esto es lo que quiere el Señor: que todos sus hijos tengan vida en abundancia. ¡Dios nos quiere a todos con Él en su casa! (Papa Francisco, 15 de agosto de 2013)

Amigos míos, si usted, o un miembro de la familia, un amigo o un compañero de

trabajo aún no ha recibido los sacramentos del Bautismo, la Primera Comunión o la Confirmación, nos gustaría ayudar a todos a decir "Sí" a Dios y dar un paso más hacia el cielo, invitando a todos a participar en nuestro programa Rito de Iniciación Cristiana de Adultos en la Catedral. Este programa dinámico, que comienza en el otoño y se ofrece en español e inglés, concluye en la Vigilia Pascual con nuestro Obispo celebrando los sacramentos del Bautismo, la Primera Comunión y la Confirmación. ¡No hay liturgia más poderosa y hermosa que la Vigilia Pascual!

Nuestro fiel equipo de R. I.C. A. y sus líderes esperan acompañarlos a ustedes, ¡a su familiar o amigo en este viaje de fe! Nadie puede llegar al cielo solo. Ser católico significa ofrecer a otro la compañía de la fe. Y de eso se trata este programa. Se trata de conocer las historias de los demás y luego compartir las mismas razones de nuestra creencia y nuestra fe. Qué bendición será para nosotros conocerlo, compartir con usted la belleza de nuestra fe católica, así como la calidez de la comunidad de la Catedral de San Juan. Pero, sobre todo, aquellos que eligen entrar en este viaje de fe serán bendecidos celestialmente al recibir los sacramentos de la Iglesia, especialmente la Santa Eucaristía. Porque, como el Papa Benedicto había dicho:

“No hay nada mágico en el cristianismo. No hay atajos, pero todo pasa a través de la lógica humilde y paciente del grano de trigo que muere para dar vida, la lógica de la fe que mueve montañas con la fuerza mansa de Dios. Por esta razón, Dios desea renovar la humanidad, su historia y el universo por medio de esta cadena de transformaciones de la cual la Eucaristía es el sacramento ".

Los sacramentos de la Iglesia tienen el poder de traer el cielo a la tierra, de rasgar el velo que existe entre las cosas que no se ven y se ven. Los sacramentos permiten que la humanidad y la eternidad se mezclen de forma misteriosas, pero tangibles. A través de los sacramentos, el cielo viene a visitarnos y a morar con nosotros y dentro de nosotros. En los sacramentos, podemos escuchar las palabras del Padre que habló a Su Hijo cuando fue bautizado por Juan en el Jordán: “Este es mi Hijo amado, con quien tengo complacencia”. Todos necesitamos escuchar esas palabras celestiales de Dios, verdad y amor ¡Y qué bendecidos somos de escucharlos en los sacramentos de la Iglesia!

Este fin de semana, en todas las Misas, se distribuirá un formulario a todos los

interesados en unirse al programa de R.I.C.A. y recibir los sacramentos de la Iglesia. Este formulario nos proporcionará la información necesaria para que uno de los miembros de nuestro equipo pueda contactarlo directamente con respecto a esta oportunidad de gracia. ¡En nombre de nuestro equipo, esperamos unirnos a ustedes en este viaje de fe!
