There
will be formal instruction to help Boy Scouts complete the requirements
for the
Catholic Ad
Altare Dei (AAD) emblem. The instruction will start in late August
and
continue through the fall and into the first months of 2011.
We shall meet in the church on Tuesday evenings beginning at 7:00 P.M.
and lasting until
a bit past 8:00 P.M. The diocesan Catholic Scout
committee insists that any Scout wishing to work
on this emblem
participate in formal instruction. Scouts must:
be Catholic; be registered with the BSA; be active in a troop six
months; and complete
the fifth grade before beginning work on the AAD.

Coming to Mass but Not Catholic?
If you’ve
been coming to Mass for a while, but are not Catholic, we invite you to
look
deeper into the Catholic faith. St. Francis of Assisi will soon
begin a new journey in
faith to share the richness of the Catholic
Church and our parish family.
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
(RCIA) is a journey of conversion to
God—a process by which persons who
were never baptized, or were baptized in
another Christian tradition,
become members of the Church. A general inquiry
session to answer your
questions regarding the RCIA process will be held in the Library
on
Thursday, July 29th at 7 pm. Weekly RCIA inquiry sessions to learn what
Catholics believe in
an open and welcoming environment will begin in
September .
Please contact Michele Meny at the parish office or via
email at mmeny@sfatx.org with questions
or if you would like further
information.
