Have you ever wondered what the various parts of the Mass mean? Do you get questions on why Catholics kneel, sit, and stand at various parts of the Mass? If you want to learn more about the Mass and get your questions answered, you are in luck! As part of the Archdiocese's Synod focus this year being the Mass, St. Joe's is having a 5-week Bible study on the Mass. The sessions are Wednesday mornings from 10:00 - 11:30 am in Rooms 101-103. The dates are October 23, 30, November 6, 13, and 20. We are using Edward Siri's "A Biblical Walkthrough the Mass" and learn about the various parts of the Mass together. No cost to attend. Please join us - even if you can only attend a couple of sessions - we'd love to have you join us for what you are able.

The OCIA is a process of adult initiation into full communion with the Catholic Church. Typically beginning in the fall, and culminating at the Easter Vigil, candidates for entry into the Catholic Church go through instruction and preparation that serves to educate them about the Catholic faith. This initiation takes place through four phases: a period of Inquiry which introduces the candidates to the basics of the Catholic faith; a period of Catechumenate, which involves more intense study of the sacraments and sacramental nature of the Church; a period of Enlightenment which involves the last weeks of prayer and study in preparation for reception into the Church; and a period of Mystagogy which focuses on the ongoing conversion that constitutes the heart of Catholic living.

2024 OCIA begins Thursday, November 7 at 6:30 pm in Rooms 107-108
