BECOMING CATHOLIC/
CHRISTIAN INITIATION
What is it all about?
CHRISTIAN INITIATION
Adopt-a-Student Program
Dear Parishioners,
We have excellent students who would like to attend
our school, but lack the financial means to do so.
With so many new families entering our community
and expressing interest in enrolling students in our
school, it would be beneficial to replenish our Adopt-aStudent Scholarship Fund. If you are able to help,
would you sponsor a student for the 2008-2009
school year?
A Journey of Faith for all adults who wish to
become members of the Roman Catholic
Church. It involves the formation of the total
person into a believing, living, praying and a
serving member of the church community.
We would like to express our sincere thanks to the
members of our parish who sponsored students this
past year. A full sponsorship is $4,615, which you
can pay in one payment or you may choose a partial
sponsorship. This precious gift of a quality Catholic
School Education is the finest gift you can give someone.
The four-step process includes:
Sincerely,
1) EVANGELIZATION/INQUIRY: A chance
for people to ask questions about Catholic
beliefs.
Fr. John Giel, Pastor
Lynn Greene, Principal
2) CATECHUMENATE: The opportunity for
participants to learn about & mature into the
Catholic Faith while being guided by a
Catholic sponsor.
3) ENLIGHTENMENT: A time for deep
spiritual reflection during the Lenten Season.
It culminates with the administration of the
three Sacraments of Initiation at the Easter
Vigil.
4) MYSTAGOGIA: A continuous opportunity
for spiritual growth & entering fully into the
community of Catholic believers.
An ongoing process, which may be entered
into at any time. If you know of someone who
is curious about our Church or who is trying to
decide whether to become a
Catholic or, if you are interested yourself in
becoming a Catholic Christian, please,
contact Deanna Saxton at the Parish Office
for more information (352-787-6435
ext. 251).
Everyone is called!
Everyone is welcome!
Yes, I am happy to sponsor a student at St. Paul’s
Catholic School for the 2008-2009 school year.

“Saint Paul - In His Own Words”
A Unique and Very Special Presentation
•

•
Paul was born in Tarsus, Cilicia. He was a Jew, a Pharisee
who hated and persecuted the followers of Jesus. On his
way to Damascus to arrest one group of followers, he
was knocked to the ground and was blinded.
As an apostle he was imprisoned, flogged, and many
times was near death. Five times he received the forty
lashes minus one. Three times he was beaten with rods,
once he was stoned, three times he was shipwrecked and
for a night and a day he was adrift at sea.
He was finally imprisoned in Rome and was beheaded.
In Bible-based theatrical presentations that
many say are more thought-provoking than any
they have ever seen, Mark Price brings key
figures of history to life. They will speak to you
about their lives and experiences with Jesus.
