DISCOVERING CATHOLIC FAITH - JOIN OUR JOURNEY -MEETING TUESDAY 8TH SEPTEMBER 7.30PM IN PARISH HALL Are you curious about the Catholic faith? Do you feel drawn to explore a deeper relationship with God? We warmly invite you to join the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) - a beautiful journey of faith, prayer, and community, open to: Adults seeking to become Catholic Older children who wish to join the Church Baptised Christians who want to complete their initiation into the Catholic Church What is RCIA? RCIA is not just a "course" but a spiritual journey. Guided by the parish community, participants gradually discover the Catholic way of life through prayer, reflection, and fellowship. Along the way, there are special liturgical rites that affirm and support you, leading up to the most joyful moment of all - receiving the Sacraments at the Easter Vigil and becoming a full member of the Catholic Church. Please see Father Sean after Mass or Email worcesterpark@rcaos.org.uk YOUR UNDERSTANDING, SUPPORT AND COOPERATION PLEASE. As announced at all Masses recently, we sadly discovered discarded Hosts under the benches. As a result, each one of us is requested to receive and consume Holy Communion in front of th Minister before they move away. We ask parents to be aware as well. Thank you for your words of sympathy and encouragement last weekend. ENCYCLICAL LETTER MAGNIFICA HUMANITAS OF HIS HOLINESS POPE LEO XIV ON SAFEGUARDING THE HUMAN PERSON IN THE TIME OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE 50. At the heart of the Christian understanding of the human person lies the great biblical affirmation that men and women are created in the image and likeness (cf. Gen 1:26-27) of the Triune God. Created for relationship, every human person is planned and willed by God to enter into communion with him, with others and with creation. Human dignity does not depend on a person's abilities, wealth or position in life, nor on the right or wrong choices made; instead, it is a gift that precedes and transcends each person, endowed by God as an expression of his unfailing love. For this reason, the human person always remains the "way for the Church" and the heart of every authentic path of integral human development. 11 TO 14 YEAR OLDS OF ST MATTHIAS, ASSEMBLE!
