“WHOSE IN THE PEWS?” All to often we presume all the folks in the pews on Sunday have received all their sacraments of initiation - Baptism, Holy Communion and Confirmation, and have had their

marriages blessed or validated in the Church. Many have not. They may be waiting for an invitation to complete their

sacraments they some how missed. These could be parents of children who have no affiliation with any faith but they are

married to a Catholic. They could be parents of children in our grade or high schools or in our religious education

program. What about those in our own family who again for one reason or another have not completed their sacraments.

Their sacrament reception is our business and is our opportunity to evangelize them. For more information about the RCIA process, please call the rectory at 845-227-8380.
