SACHEART R.C.I.A. DAY OF RECOLLECTION BEFORE INITIATION.............

As Catholic parishes throughout the country and in much of the World get ready for the celebration of Christian Initiation at the Easter Vigil on holy Saturday, next week - R.CI.A. ministries like ours here at Sacred Heart Parish in East Sacramento, are holding retreats and days of preparation for the Elect.  Our Catechumen and Candidates and their Sponsors, will be attending a Day of Recollection today, a mid morning to mid afternoon opportunity to spiritually and socially solidify their readiness together for the Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, and Profession of Faith, they will experience at the Easter Vigil Service next Saturday night March 30th.  I will join them this afternoon, after completing another Baptismal instruction, in what continues to be for me a high activity month of ministry.............Fr.  Troy
