Fr. Tom's Insights

The motto, "Together in Christ," was chosen as the motto for The Catholic Community Connection, our joint parish newsletter. It was chosen to emphasize that, while we are still two separate parishes in Jeffersonville, Indiana, there are many things which call us to work together to build up God's kingdom. I want to share some thoughts on our clustering now that we are three years into it.

Daily Bible Readings

Some have asked how to know what the daily readings are from the comfort of home. There are several ways that the internet can be of great service in this regard.

bulletLifelong Catechesis - involving the whole community. This site, sponsored by Harcourt Publishers, provides several avenues of interest.

bulletwww.usccb.org - a site sponsored by the National Conference of catholic bishops. Select “daily readings”; on the calendar page, select the date and the readings appear.

bulletwww.mobilegabriel.com - select “Mass calendar”, then choose the date, and finally “Mass readings”. In addition to giving you the readings, it also provides a meditation for the day.

R.C.I.A.

bulletThe Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is the Church's process of welcoming newcomers into full communion with the Catholic Church. The RCIA program involves not just the newcomer or "inquirer" but all the members of the community who by prayer and personal example help the inquirer find his or her place in the Church.


For more information on any of these programs please call the Faith Formation Office at 282-1231.
