Sacramental Preparation – St. Mary of the Assumption
My dear parents,
Since the young people who make up the student body at St. Mary School come from many different parishes, there may exist some confusion on where the Sacraments of First Holy Communion and Confirmation are to be celebrated. These Sacraments of Initiation are to be celebrated in the parish church where the person receiving the Sacrament is a parishioner. At times there may be extenuating circumstances which could prevent this from happening. It is then the responsibility of the pastor of the candidate receiving the Sacrament to make a pastoral decision as how best to resolve the issue. The parish we belong to is our spiritual home and the community where our faith is nurtured and supported. In a parochial school setting where the student body is made up of parishioners from different parishes it is important that the host parish does not assume a role that it doesn’t have. Here at St. Mary School, we will always respect the relationship that our students have as parishioners at their own parishes.
Please find below, the calendar for Sacramental Preparation at St. Mary of the Assumption. Please be diligent in adding these events to your calendar so you may be faithful in attending these important sessions. If you’re unable to attend or miss a session, please contact me that following week so I can get you caught-up on the material, pass along sacramental forms to be completed, and address any questions or concerns you may have. As a parent, you are the primary teacher of the faith to your child. Father Eilerman and I are happy to assist and support you in an way we can with this very essential charge in forming you child’s mind and heart with the teachings of our Lord and His Church. In your charity, please pray that the Holy Spirit may guide and bless our preparations this year.
Lastly, if your child, for whatever reason, is “out of sequence” sacramentally, please contact me so an appropriate and timely plan of sacramental preparation can be developed for the coming year.

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
St. Mary of the Assumption is beginning to reach out to those persons who may be interested in learning about the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ & His Church and discerning if God is calling them to become Roman Catholic. The R.C.I.A. Process is for those who are unbaptized, those who are baptized from Protestant or Evangelical Communities, and those who are baptized Catholic but have not been Confirmed or received Holy Communion. The RCIA process finds its roots in the early Church, where those seeking incorporation were slowly and systematically introduced into the rich sacramental, spiritual, and prayerful life of the Church.
There are three “RCIA Information & Inquiry Sessions” offered:
+ Monday, August 20th, 2012 at 7PM – Spirit Center
+ Wednesday, August 22nd, 2012 at 7PM – Spirit Center
+ Sunday, August 26th, 2012 at 10AM – Spirit Center
RCIA Director: Brian McCauley - Office: 740.653.5054
