Welcome and Healing
The Pew Research Center recently reported that one of the reasons people don’t go to church is that they don’t feel welcome. We want everyone to know that they are welcome at St. Benedict’s and welcome at our Tuesday night initiation gatherings! On Tuesday evenings and Wednesday mornings, we gather to welcome folks to our Catholic Christian community. Our sessions include prayer, input, conversation and some good snacks!
 
This Tuesday evening, February 5 at 7:00p in Hellmann Hall parishioners Sue Butwin and Gaylon Smith will talk about God’s healing grace found in the Sacraments of Healing.
 
Also, we have a group of new inquirers meeting on Wednesday mornings as well. (Yes, it’s changed from Thursday mornings).  These seekers are beginning to explore God’s call in their lives. You are WELCOME to join us! Pease contact Rita at rita@stbenedictth.org or 812.232.8421, ext. 12 to let us know you’re coming so we can make sure you feel welcome!

RCIA

The RCIA is the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. It’s the process of Christian initiation whereby adults and older children deepen their relationship with our loving God and become members of the Catholic Church. It’s a dynamic, flexible and engaging process that forms people in the Christian way of life. It’s really all about discipleship.

The process of forming disciples for the life of the world is different and unique for each person. All are welcome! Please call the parish office, 812.232.8421 or contact Rita Burns Senseman at rita@stbenedictth.org to find out more.
