Pastor's Invitation to Non-Catholics . . .
Dear Friends,
Sharing the treasure of our Catholic faith is vital to the task of being witnesses for Christ. It is exactly what Jesus told us to do before his ascension into heaven. We are to be apostolic (that is to be “sent”); to spread the Good News (Mt 28:19). Too often when we hear the word, apostolic, we think in terms of going to the far corners of the earth to do this. Yet, in truth, charity would tell us that we should really begin at home.
Let me extend to you an invitation on behalf of our entire parish. That which we hold dear, our faith, we wish to share with you. If you have ever wondered; if you have ever thought of asking but the timing just didn’t seem right; perhaps now is the right time to accept our invitation to explore the possibilities of becoming Catholic.
The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) begins with an orientation meeting. The RCIA is not only educational, offering a clear understanding of the teachings of the Catholic Church, but it is a journey of spiritual growth in the Lord as well. Please let us know if we can assist you. It’s as simple as a phone call to the parish office: 281-391-4758.
It is, of course, understood that your faith decision is yours and yours alone; and that we will always respect it as such.
Sincerely in the Love of Christ,
Fr. John Kha Tran
Pastor
