Retreat for OCIA Inquirers and Sponsors

Retreat for OCIA Inquirers and Sponsors

• Saturday, Nov. 2 (Registrations close Oct. 28)
• 8:30 am to 3 pm
• An in-person event. Seating is limited.

Whether your OCIA group is small or large, introduce the inquirers and their sponsors to other people on the same journey from other parishes. They are part of something bigger than they may realize, joining something big.

The day will emphasize relationship building:

• Developing a personal relationship with God.
• Developing a relationship with their fellow parishioners as members of the Body of Christ.
• What it means to be a member of the Church versus a member of a country club or social club.

We will discuss the discernment process; not only deciding if God is calling them to enter the Catholic Church but also how God is leading them to be involved and to share their gifts. We will teach tools and ways of discernment.

The retreat leader will Fr. Ron Will.

The retreat will include continental breakfast and lunch. Suggested offering is $40 per person. (Scholarship funds are available.)

Note: The RCIA director can register a whole group or have individuals register themselves. If the director registers a group, the director will be the contact person and Ticket #1; sponsors and inquirers will be Ticket #2, #3, etc.
