Confessions: Sat: 3:30 to 4:30 p.m Page Two St. Bernardine of Siena Dear Friends, Today’s Gospel story, the Good Samaritan, is one of the most beloved. It is also one of those that most of us know by heart. Without a moment’s hesitation we could launch into the retelling of this narrative. The concept of helping an unknown person has even entered into our legal parlance with the enactment of so-called “Good Samaritan” laws designed to protect those who aid others in good faith. It might be good for us to look at this story from the other side for once. Recall that the Samaritans were despised by the Jews of Jesus’ day. They were foreigners and outsiders. And yet one of “them” provided care for the man who fell in with robbers. Who are the many unknown (and maybe undesirable) who provide all types of care for us? In what ways are we the beneficiaries of countless good “Samaritans?” The author Father Peter Scagnelli has another way again of looking at it. He says that the lawyer asks the wrong question. For the disciple of Jesus the question is not, “Who is my neighbor?” but “Who needs me to be a neighbor?” ~ Fr. McNamara Pre-Registration for RCIA (Christian Initiation of Adults) The Rites of Christian Initiation of Adults is one of the most significant legacies of the Second Vatican Council. It is, in brief, the process, journey of faith by which we initiate new members into the Catholic Church. Conversion is at the heart of the process, consequently, it involves more that passing on knowledge. It involves faith and community sharing, reflection on experience and Gospel values. It is a way of BEING Church. If you are interested in the Catholic Church and you are: • An unbaptized person • A baptized Christian of another denomination • A baptized Catholic never having received Eucharist • Or if you are interested in becoming more spiritual in your faith You are invited to join our RCIA Group that will begin September 12th. We will meet every Wednesday evening for two hours at 7:30 p.m. in the Parish Hall Veranda Room. For further information, please call 340-2087. If you leave your name and address, a registration form will be sent to you. Please spread the word, invite an interested friend to be part of this year’s RCIA journey towards sacraments.
