to grant absolution for this sin.
The Pope makes this announcement as part of his
upcoming Holy Year of Mercy, beginning on December 8, marking the 50th anniversary of Vatican
II’s closing to remind us all, as he has said earlier,
“the church is the house that welcomes all and refuses no one.” In reflecting on this theme of Reconciliation and Mercy, Pope Francis wrote that
“the forgiveness of God cannot be denied to one
who has repented, especially when that person approaches the Sacrament with a sincere heart in order to obtain reconciliation with the Father.”
We are all in need of God’s mercy. As a priest, I
have been reminded so often of the power of this
Sacrament of Forgiveness and renewal with God
and others decided to leave. That was their free
choice. And Jesus respected their freedom by letting them go. We have the same choice to make.
Will we follow Jesus no matter what, or will we
abandon our faith in him if his ways become too
uncomfortable? Let’s heed the call of Joshua in
today’s first reading: “Choose today whom you
wish to serve!”

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
(RCIA) is a process developed by the Catholic
Church for prospective converts to Catholicism
who are above the age of infant baptism. Over a
period of several months, interested candidates
are gradually introduced to aspects of Catholic
beliefs and practices.
The beginning of this program provides information and a person is not “required” to become
Catholic at that point. Later in the sessions they
are given the opportunity to discern and conversion to the Catholic faith. Christians of another Protestant denomination who have already been baptized are
not re-baptized, but however make a profession of faith to enter into full communion with the Catholic faith.
Our program will start mid-September. Please call St. Mary Magdalen Office if you would like to discuss
this further:

We will be switching to a new publisher
of our weekly church bulletins, one
which will offer an expanded COLOR
format for photos and better layout. We
are asking current advertisers to renew
for this “Quarter” only, which ends with

Children’s Grief Workshop
As part of our community outreach,
we are offering a grief workshop for
children ages 11-14 designed to make it easier for
your child to share feelings. Children often feel they
are “different” after the loss of a family member.
Through guided therapeutic art and group activities,
your child can learn that they are not alone in their
grief.
