Annulments

During the Year of the Family we should pray for God’s grace to be with all families in our Diocese.  We need to respect the privacy and dignity of others, but at the same time we are called to reach out to those in need or who are hurting and need healing.  If you know of any Catholics who are not coming to Church because of divorces, or other irregular marriages, you are strongly urged to have them talk to their parish priest to begin working on an annulment.  This ministry offered by the Tribunal of the Diocese of San Angelo can be a time of healing and grace when approached in a prayerful manner. (Bishop Michael D. Pfeifer, OMI)

 

Basic Formation Cycle

A new cycle  (two years) of Diocesan Basic Formation will begin at St. Francis Church, in August, 2010. All interested persons are welcome and encouraged to attend these adult faith formation sessions. This is an opportunity for persons who participate in any church ministry but especially for anyone who catechizes at any level. A commitment to the two-year cycle is required. There are monthly sessions that begin at 8:45 A.M. and conclude at 4:00 P.M. Each session includes prayer, input on specific content reflection time, small and large group discussion and journaling. Input and materials are in English. Small group discussion can be in Spanish if needed .For more information call the Office of Education and Formation at 325-651-7500.

 

 

 

How does our parish attract inquirers each year who consider becoming Catholic through RCIA?

 

The short answer is you! When any parish has many inquirers year after year, it is the fruit of the Holy Spirit as parish members open their hearts to welcome others. Members of a welcoming and evangelizing community take seriously their call to share the Divine message of salvation. It happens in parish families, in the workplace, in gatherings with friends and neighbors, and in daily contacts. Give thanks to God as he continuously strengthens each of us who seek to do his will in offering a gentle, humble, and clear welcome to the Catholic faith. “Go out into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature.” (Mark 16:15)

 

RCIA Registration begins August 16th and Classes Begin September 13th – Please do your part by encouraging new inquirers. If you are interested in volunteering to help with the classes/retreats, please contact Cynthia at 320-2860.

 

Summer Season Holy Hours

 Just For Teens!

The Lord has blessed us with abundant summer season already! In order to thank God for these blessings and to prepare ourselves for the next school year, all Catholic youths of Abilene from 8th grade to 12 grade are invited to a Holy Hour in front of the Blessed Sacrament at Sacred Heart Catholic Church. What a great way to meet new friends and see old friends from other parishes! It will be on Sundays at 3 P.M. beginning in August 1 and ending in August 22. We will pray the Rosary and the Divine Mercy Chaplet. There will be a few minutes of silence for meditation and reflection. You may bring your Bible with you.

 

If you are interested to learn more about Holy Hour devotions, the Rosary and the Divine Mercy Chaplet, a small group will meet on Sunday, July 25th, at Holy Family from 2-4 P.M. You can also learn to making Rosaries.
