From the Desk of Father Davis

Are you ready to try and enter the narrow door? Today's Gospel challenges believers and non-believers alike to enter into the mystery of a deep life in Christ. Jesus addresses his hearers with blunt poignancy. There's nothing easy about the Christian life! It requires conversion, sacrifice and commitment. It requires the willingness to do whatever is necessary to align our lives with their holy purposes.

RICA – Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults

Are you or someone you know interested in joining the Catholic Church? Are you curious about the Catholic Faith, but not sure you want to make a commitment? Are you married to a Catholic spouse, raising your children Catholic, and interested in knowing more to be able to share with them? Are you a Catholic who desires to complete the initiation process by receiving Eucharist and Confirmation?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, we warmly invite you to give serious consideration of entering into the RCIA process.

The RCIA process begins September 11, 2022 and meets weekly through the month of May. Weekly sessions consist of a presentation on a topic of Catholic Teaching, scripture reflection and faith sharing.

Here are some comments from previous participants:

  • Coming from no religious background, RCIA has been many things to me. It has been a crash course of Catholic basics, a spiritual awakening, and the many speakers have been a viewpoint of Catholicism from an every day view. RCIA has been fun, informative, social, and most of all a blessing!
  • What has RCIA meant to me? It saved my life! It brought me closer to God. It opened my mind to a whole new universe of life I Christ.
If you are interested in the RCIA for yourself or someone you know, please contact our RCIA Director Patricia O’Neill, at 954 895- 2238 for more information, or to register for this wonderful program. Visit the RCIA page on our website.

Healing Mass

Saint Gregory will soon return to offering quarterly Healing Masses for those needing to receive the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick.

This opportunity is designed to bring spiritual support, comfort, and reassurance in Christ, as we turn to the Lord asking for physical and spiritual healing. Those who have noncontagious serious illnesses and health conditions, those who are approaching surgery or recovering from surgery, and those who are burdened with the weight of years, are especially invited to come and publicly receive the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick on these scheduled occasions. Other cases can be handled with special planning and care.

The next Healing Mass at Saint Gregory is scheduled for Tuesday, August 23rd, at 7:00pm in church.

All are welcome to come and pray for divine healing and strength.
