CONFIRMATION FOR ADULTS
This
process of Confirmation formation is suggested to
prepare adults who have been baptized, received first
Eucharist and are actively practicing their faith.
Those who are baptized but uncatechized should attend
the Adult Faith Formation Class on Monday Nights from
7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. Specific Adult preparation will
be offered separately parallel to the youth
confirmation preparation. (See RCIA #400-410.)
Candidates for Confirmation should view this process
as coming to the fullness of initiation in the
Catholic Christian community. Because of its
initiatory character, candidates should have sponsors
(individual). Sponsors must have received the
Sacraments of Initiation, be free to practice the
faith and be 16 years of age or older. (Canon
#892-893)
An
Individual interview is conducted with potential
candidate and the LLFF Director or staff that is
familiar with the conversion process. For further
information please contact LLFF office.
R.C.I.A.
The
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) provides
liturgical rites and a process of formation in the
Christian life by which unbaptized adults are joined
to Christ and to the Church. The RCIA also contains
adapted rites and guidelines for the formation of
baptized Catholics who have never been catechized or
received any of the other sacraments, and also for
those who were baptized in other Christian churches
and desire to be received into full communion with the
Catholic Church. (Federation of Diocesan Liturgical
Commissions)
An
Initial interview is conducted with potential
candidate with Pastor or the LFF Director . For
further information please contact LFF office.
Meetings are held Monday Evenings at 6:30 p.m. before
the Adult Faith Formation Classes in room 205.
Adult Faith Formation
The
Catholic Catechism for Adults is offered every Monday
from 7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. for all adults in the
Parish. This course is an excellent opportunity for
adults to increase their knowledge of the Catholic
Faith. It is also the appropriate program for adults
seeking to receive any of the Sacraments. Adult
Catechumens and Candidates participation in the RCIA
will be part of this course.
