Adult Enrichment
Adult Catholics have many chances to grow in their faith through a variety of learning opportunities at Immaculate Heart of Mary. Classes, discussions, and videos are offered on Scripture, Social Justice, Church History, Salesian Spirituality and other topics. We invite you to find one that fits your schedule, by reading our weekly parish bulletin, navigating this website, or calling the Parish Office.
R.C.I.A.
RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is an opportunity for those interested in learning more about the Catholic Faith to discern where God is calling them in their spiritual life. The program is for all non-Catholics both baptized and unbaptized. If you are Catholic perhaps you have a friend or a family member with whom you have had conversations about the Catholic faith. Now would be a good time to ask if they would be interested in more formally inquiring.
Our class is forming and will be meeting in person beginning on August 24 at 7:00 PM. The class will meet every Tuesday with the exception of holidays through the end of May 2022. The meetings are scheduled for Meeting Room 1, in the Church.
If you, or someone you know, is looking for God or a community of faith or answers to questions that have not been answered about a Catholic way of life then call Deacon Wally for an appointment and find out if what you are seeking can be found in the R.C.I.A. program. whaarsgaard@ihmchurch.org or 336-884 5352.

HELP WANTED!
- The Team RCIA 2021-2022 is now forming. We would like to have additional help in communications. This person would not have to attend meetings but would publish our meeting and worship schedule and be someone who would keep in personal contact with those who have previously come into the Church through RCIA.
- A second area of help is in ‘Breaking Open the Word’. This would be facilitating the discussion after the catechumens and candidates are dismissed from Mass to reflect on God’s Word and the Homily they have just heard at Mass. The person does not have to be a scripture expert, but just has to keep the discussion on topic and follow some outline questions. This would require attending Mass with the RCIA group.
- A third area is sponsors. We would like to have sponsors who will accompany the catechumen or candidate on this journey. Requirement would be to attend meetings weekly with the person you are sponsoring. RCIA attends weekend Mass as a group and the sponsor would attend also. This is a great opportunity to share your faith with others.
