Four to join Church on Easter

     During Easter, three St. Bernard parishioners from the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) will become full members of the Catholic Church and one adult will complete his initiation by receiving the sacrament of Confirmation.
     On Holy Saturday, April 20, Elise’ Gnammi, Nellie McDaniel, Leslie Sehr and Linda Passaglia, who have been baptized as Christian, will receive the Sacraments of Eucharist and Confirmation. Joseph Mullvain will receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. 
     On March 10, the four RCIA candidates gathered at St. John the Baptist Church in Waunakee with Msgr. James Bartylla of the Diocese of Madison and about 120 other catechumens and candidates at the annual Rite of Election and Call to Continuing Conversion. At the ceremony, they were recognized and accepted by Bartylla to receive the sacraments.
     RCIA is the process through which adults are introduced to the Catholic faith and become members of the church.
     Please help them feel welcome and pray for them as they continue their journey of faith.
