RCIA: Part of Your Journey of Faith?

The challenges and recent changes in lifestyle brought about by the pandemic may have caused you (or someone you know) to be more reflective about life and faith. If you feel called to inquire into becoming a Christian in the Catholic faith tradition, or you have a friend or family member who might feel this way, you might consider gathering with other inquirers as part of St. Luke’s Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA.) 

Meeting with the RCIA team does not automatically commit you to become Catholic! Rather, this is an opportunity to learn about what it means to be Catholic and to discern whether the Catholic faith might constitute a path you feel called to pursue.

Currently, we are gathering virtually every couple of weeks, and hope to meet in person by this fall.  For more information on RCIA and our bi-weekly gatherings, please call Bob Thompson at 508-341-7677 or the Rectory at 508-366-5502.

Bishop's Update on Obligation to Attend Mass

Bishop McManus has issued a letter regarding obligations regarding attendance at Sunday and Holy Day Masses.  Here is an excerpt from his letter.

"In light of the complexities in timing and execution of the reopening, I will be collaborating with the Bishops of Region I (Metropolitan Provinces of Boston and Hartford) in formulating a common date for lifting the suspension of the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation.

With this letter, therefore, I extend the suspension of the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation pending the consideration of the Bishops of New England.

While the obligation continues to be suspended, I nonetheless encourage all faithful who can safely attend Mass in person to do so. Many of our churches have sufficient capacity available while maintaining proper social distancing and cleaning routines. Although music and certain liturgical actions continue to be limited at this time, I hope and pray that we will seek the sacrament of the Eucharist which is the source and simmit of our lives."

Every human being has a great, yet often unknown, gift to care, to be compassionate, to become present to the other, to listen, to hear and to receive... Those who are not afraid to hold a hand in gratitude, to shed tears in grief, and to let a sigh of distress arise straight from the heart, can break through paralyzing boundaries and witness the birth of a new fellowship, the fellowship of the broken.  --Henri J.M. Nouwen
