September Explanation Station – St. John Nepomucene Adult Faith Formation

September Explanation Station – St. John Nepomucene Adult Faith Formation

What do Catholics believe?

We, as Catholics, believe that God created the world, and us, to live in union with him forever. That union was lost by sin and restored by the death and resurrection of Jesus. The Church was established by Jesus so that we could continue to live in that union by receiving grace. We receive grace in the sacraments as strength so that we can practice charity. All of this together helps us live in unity with each other on earth so that we are ready for eternal unity in heaven.

Interested in becoming Catholic or learning more about the Catholic faith?

Interested in becoming Catholic or learning more about the Catholic faith?

The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) (formerly known as RCIA) is the process by which the Catholic Church welcomes new members into its midst or completes the process of Christian initiation. This process involves receiving 1 or all 3 sacraments of initiation which include Baptism, Holy Eucharist and Confirmation.

During the process of initiation, a person grows in knowledge of the teachings of the Catholic Church, explores the meaning of the Scriptures for daily life, develops friendships with members of the parish community, learns to pray and worship in the Catholic tradition and discovers the joy of serving others.

If you are interested in learning more about this process or the Catholic faith, please contact the parish office at (920) 788-9061 and ask for Deacon Dave Van Eperen and he will provide you with more more information. Lessons are set to begin mid-September 2023.

Why is the Catholic Church known as Apostolic?

An unbroken chain of succession characterizes the hierarchy of the Catholic Church. Christ commissioned the Twelve Apostles, and each one of them in turn commissioned bishops, who in turn ordained other bishops and priests. So every priest and bishop alive today, including the pope and the patriarchs of the Eastern Churches, has a lineage that traces directly back to the Apostles. It is why the Church is known as an “Apostolic Church.”
