October 6th, 2026— Preparing for the Rite of Acceptance and Welcome

This Tuesday night at 6:30 p.m, we’ll gather for a practical evening as we prepare for the Rite of Acceptance and Welcome at the 11:00 a.m. Mass on Sunday, October 11.

Emily, our liturgical coordinator, will walk us through what will happen during the rites, where to go, and what participants and sponsors will need to do. Dcn. Brian will join us for questions and answers and offer a blessing as we prepare to take this next step together. Even if you are just continuing to discern, you’re welcome to join us!

There’s no reading or preparation beforehand, and no Gathering Guide this week. Just come with your questions.

Please also take a look at the updated Calendar and new Servant Saturdays pages at stanneocia.org to see what we are doing in October and early November. You’ll also find our upcoming dates and learn about opportunities where we will serve the needs of our community together as part of learning to follow Christ.
