Adult Catechism
I encourage all parishioners to reach out to family members, friends, and co-workers that might be interested in learning about the Catholic faith. An excellent opener is: “Have you ever thought about becoming Catholic?” Or, “I’m going to be attending catechism classes at my parish, would you have any interest in joining me?” Depending on the response, you might assure the person that showing up for the classes – and even registering – does not represent any firm commitment towards becoming Catholic; it is normal for people to attend the classes even if they are merely curious about or investigating the faith.
Our first class is Thursday, August 13 at 7 pm. Please note that parishioners with all their Sacraments need not apply in order to attend the class. Full schedule and registration are available at https://firstmartyr.com/become-catholic. For more details, those interested may e-mail me directly at frcurtis@fssp.com.
Sr. Rebekah Kasak Clothing
Sister will be clothed and make her first temporary vows with the Benedictines on Monday, October 12.
Rev. Mr. Matthew Lesinski, FSSP
Our deacon will remain at the parish until Friday, July 31. While he is here, expect to see him assisting with sermons, the distribution of Holy Communion, and Baptisms, as he receives some hands-on experience with parish life.
Please be Advised
We remain shorthanded through the end of the month. Please be patient if the priests are slow to respond to e-mails or other forms of communication.
