Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit and the door through which we enter in order to receive the other sacraments.

Through Baptism, we are freed from sin and reborn as sons and daughters of God. We become members of Christ and are incorporated into the Church. Through this sacrament we are made sharers in the Church’s mission. CCC 1213

Becoming Catholic…
Did you happen to stop in today and you are not sure why? Are you sitting in the pew each Sunday and intrigued by the Catholic Faith? Have you been coming with your family for years and need a safe place to ask questions? Are you one of the many Catholics who didn’t finish their initiation sacraments and still need to receive Eucharist or be Confirmed? Are you marrying or married to a Catholic and you just want to understand Catholicism better? We have an opportunity for you, to journey in faith with us, as we share together the richness of a relationship with Christ within the heart of the Catholic Church. We invite you to come and learn more about Christ and what the Church teaches and spend time with some of our faithful parish members. These sessions are a place to ask the difficult questions you may have about the Catholic Church. These gatherings are for everyone (those unbaptized, those who were baptized Christian from other denominations and Catholics in need of Eucharist and/or Confirmation).

Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) and Rite of Christian Initiation for Children (RCIC)
A pastoral process for initiating new members into the Church, leading them to the knowledge of the truths of the Catholic Faith.
The process for a person to become a member of the Catholic Church, once they have passed the age of reason (Age 7), is through their participation in the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) or Rite of Christian Initiation for Children (RCIC). RCIA/RCIC is a distinct process in which individuals explore his/her inner longing to find a unique relationship with God.

This journey is for:
- Those who were never baptized.
- Those who were baptized in another Christian tradition but now seek reception into the full communion of the Catholic Church.
- Those who are Catholics by baptism and are now preparing for Confirmation and/or Eucharist.

Many people, such as catechists, sponsors, and others, will be available to help an individual discern his/her inner longing. The journey itself includes four phrases.

Please note that due to the uniqueness of experiences and ages for individual RCIC candidates, each RCIC candidate will be handled on a case by case basis.

For information regarding RCIC please contact Mary Kohlhaas at kohlhaasm@stjohnnyb.org or by phone 651-633-1540 ext. 1234

For information regarding RCIA please contact Jessica Balzarini at balzarinij@stjohnnyb.org or by phone 651-633-1540 ext. 1228

What is Sunday Morning Scripture with Sister Clarinda? This is frequently on the minds of people in the parish. Often, we come to Mass following the busyness of the morning preparations and have not had enough time to focus on what is being read. It is important that we hear what God is saying to us in all of the readings.

Every Tuesday morning after the 8:30am Mass, we gather in Room 204 to spend some time listening to the upcoming Sunday readings and studying what the Spirit is saying to us. After the discussion, we take a few moments to reflect in silence. Our session lasts for about an hour and ends with song and prayer. Everyone is invited to come as often as they can.

Winter Scripture Class 2020 -Letters From Prison (10 Sessions)

In these letters of encouragement, correction, and instruction written from prison, Paul lovingly inspires and challenges us to greater discipleship. In Philippians, Paul calls on the community to rejoice even when difficulties and struggles abound in life. Paul offers Jesus himself as the prime model to follow in his humility and obedience. Colossians and Ephesians have a number of striking similarities, including the depiction of the Church as the body of Christ with Christ as the head. Colossians, however, contains a great hymn of praise to Christ as the image of the invisible God, while Ephesians describes the Church as the spotless bride of Christ.
