It is said that St. Francis of Assisi once commented to his friars, "Go and preach, using words if you must." That same challenge is given to each one of us by virtue of our baptism. We are called to be witnesses of our faith and to share who God is in our lives with others. Whether we are aware of it or not, the way we live our lives, the way we give ourselves to others, speaks volumes to those who come into contact with us.
Perhaps someone you know has shared with you how you have touched their life or how they can tell that God is important to you. Perhaps some of these people have experienced an interest in learning more about your faith. Perhaps you would be interested in sharing more with others as a sponsor in the RCIA process.
The RCIA offers participants the opportunity to reflect on the scriptures and discover how those scriptures apply to their lives; to look at the teachings of the Church; and to grow in faith through prayer and community. If you know someone who might be interested in this process, please have them call Marie Staffa for an initial conversation. We also ask you to keep these individuals in your prayers. The encouragement and prayer of the faith community is one of the greatest supports they can have! Call Marie Staffa at 847-885-7700, ext. 124 or email her at mstaffa@sainthubert.org.
