Respect Life Movie Night - Saturday, September 18, 6pm
The next Respect Life Movie Night features the 2012 faith-based film, October Baby, written, directed and produced by the Erwin Brothers. A college student's world is shattered when she learns her parents have kept a life-changing secret from her. Rated PG-13, the poignant performances illuminate this coming of age story about self discovery and the healing power of forgiveness. It is loosely based on the life of Gianna Jessen, international pro-life speaker, singer/song writer and abortion survivor. Come and see this moving film in the PMC after 5pm evening Mass. For more information, contact Stephanie Kemp (stephanierkemp@gmail.com or 719-481-4355).

Are you or someone you know interested in becoming Catholic or learning more about the Catholic faith? RCIA, the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, is a process that includes weekly classes where you will be introduced to the beliefs and practices of the Roman Catholic Church. Deacon Tom Dickinson and his team of Catechists will help you explore what it means to be a Christian and prepare you to enter fully into our faith community through the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist. We welcome all who are new to the faith, the baptized or unbaptized, Catholics who have not completed the sacraments, and anyone who is simply searching for God. RCIA begins in the fall and concludes in the spring. For more information, contact Deacon Tom at tdickinson@diocs.org.

Sponsors needed: Confirmed, practicing Catholics who would like to participate in the RCIA process as a sponsor are invited to contact Deacon Tom.

Would you like to make rosaries, lead Rosary pray, and/or plan Rosary activities? Join the To Jesus Through Mary Ministry team, a versatile group working to spread Our Lady of the Rosary’s Fatima message to bring souls to God through Jesus with special focus on the Holy Rosary. Some of us craft rosaries to gift locally and to world-wide missions, some lead parish Sunday Rosary prayer and some enact Rosary promoting activities and presentations, but all of us gather monthly to plot our course. For details, please contact Elsie Coyne at edel@centurylink.net or Elaine Martinez at emartinezemm@comcast.net.

The Mass is nothing short of amazing. Through it, we encounter God in the most intimate way possible as we hear him speak to us in the Liturgy of the Word and as we receive him Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity in the Holy Eucharist. In his video-based study A Biblical Walk Through the Mass, Dr. Edward Sri explores the roots of the words and gestures we experience at Mass and explains their profound significance. This fascinating tour of the Mass will renew your faith and deepen your love for and devotion to the Holy Eucharist. For more information or to register, contact Barbara Brown at mountainkid@comcast.net.
