Faith Formation

Religious Education for Adults

Infant Baptism Preparation

Parents are required to attend two sessions. The first session will explore the meaning and history of Baptism and the responsibility of the parents to pass on the faith to their children. This session is held alternately on Friday evening from 6 to 9 or Sunday morning from 9 to noon. The parents and godparents then attend a Saturday morning rehearsal on the weekend of the Baptism. This is held at 9 in the Church. The Baptism is celebrated during mass with the Parish family. These are held on the last weekend of the month except for December and March. Call in advance to schedule a preparation session and ceremony date.

For information call Mike Borte 425-277-6205.


Marriage Preparation

Our Marriage Preparation process begins with an interview with Fr. Bryan. He can be reached at 425-277-6197.

During our 2011-2012 pastoral year, our parish will not offer our usual marriage preparation program. Other alternatives include Catholic Engaged Encounter, Archdiocesan Retreat, or an approved marriage counseling series.

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA.)

RCIA is the process for adults to join our Catholic family. Sessions are held on Monday evenings beginning in August and lasting through Pentecost. RCIA participants also attend the Sunday morning 9:00 Mass for additional learning. Serving as an RCIA Sponsor is the perfect opportunity to walk the journey of conversion in welcoming new members into our community.

Scripture Study

Two wonderfully enriching sessions are offered. Call to join. Our Monday evening group is in year 3 of a four-year study of the Bible. The Tuesday morning group studies the Sunday readings. They meet from 9:30 to 11 in the Fr. Lane Room. Group facilitators enrich the process of conversion in reflecting on sacred scripture, faith sharing, prayers and fellowship.
