RCIA is the process through which people join the Catholic Church, or through which already baptized members of the Church complete their Sacraments of Initiation, First Eucharist and/or Confirmation.  If you, or someone you know, would like to become Catholic or would like to complete their initiation, have them contact Father Keith at 301-934-9630 or burneyk@adw.org. Sessions will be held in the Cooper Room of St. Catherine's Hall, beginning on Monday, September 26th, at 7:30 p.m., and continuing through the spring.

In honor of the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint of animals, Father Keith will hold a blessing of the animals on Saturday, October 8th, at 11:30 a.m. outside of St. Catherine Hall.  Please bring your leashed or caged pets for a brief prayer service and blessing!

Starting Saturday, October 8th, at 6:00 p.m., come join fellow parishioners at St. Catherine Hall in watching the critically acclaimed series "The Chosen," the first-ever multi-season series about the life of Christ and the different people who met and followed him.  We'll watch two of the hour-long episodes per night, continuing once-a-month on the second Saturday of the month through May.
Please let your friends and neighbors know they are welcome to join us.  A fun time for all!
