THE RCIA @ IHM CHURCH

Introduction

The RCIA is a journey for you who are seeking the Catholic faith in
Jesus Christ. It prepare adults to be ready to receive the sacraments of
initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Eucharist). It does this
through a series of carefully structured catechesis based on the
Catechism of the Catholic Church. The sessions help you to know,
understand, and adopt the divine truths in Christian living.
The RCIA process consists of four stages:

I. Inquirer Stage (Pre-catechumenate)
This stage is for you, the Inquirer, to ask questions, be introduced to Gospel
values, and experience the beginnings of faith and encountering God. When
you are ready to continue to a deeper level of the faith, you will participate in
the Rite of Acceptance to be then called Catechumens.

II. Catechumenate Stage
At this stage, the Catechumen continues to nurture the faith through a series
of Catholic faith teachings. This includes participating in the Liturgy of the
Word at Sunday Mass. This stage will end with the Rite of Election/Enrolment
of Names for you if you are ready to reflect and consider to decide to receive
the sacraments of initiation. You will then be Elects.

III. Purification and Enlightenment Stage
This period is usually during the season of Lent, a time for the Elect to
personally reflect on their desire to make the commitment to Jesus, to
reflecton your-self in areas of your life that needs conversion. The RCIA
facilitates this by the celebration of the scrutinies and preparation for the
rites of the sacraments of initiation. At this stage, you are still free to make
a final decision whether you wish to be fully initiated into the church. No
one is forced to be baptised against their will.

IV. Mystagogy Stage
Now you are a Neophyte, have been initiated as a baptised Catholic, you
are fully a part of the community. This very short stage is a time to
consolidate your faith as a new-born in Christian living. This is end of the
RCIA processbut a beginning in your new life after being fully incorporated
into the Body of Christ. With the basic faith foundation laid in the RCIA, you
will continue to grow your faith through the sacraments, through the
community of faith, and through a lifelong process of faith formation and a
habitual prayer regime.

The Biggest Charity Carnival – Assisi Fun Day is Back in 2024.

Mark your dates ! 9th June 2024 @ St Joseph Institution International (SJII)

Started by The Sisters of the Franciscan Missionaries of the Divine Motherhood (FMDM) in the spirit of St Francis of Assisi in 1969, Assisi Hospice provides care with dignity and comfort for patients with life-limiting illnesses, and their families. 2024 is a very special year as the Sisters of FMDM will be celebrating 75 years of serving the community with love while Assisi Hospice shares the joy of celebration for our 55th Anniversary of providing care for our patients.

Assisi Hospice serves 2,700 patients, of which 50% are poorest of the poor, means-tested to the lowest income level, and in need of financial assistance. Hence, we need to raise funds to continue our mission of providing compassionate, personalised and quality palliative care to patients with life-limiting illnesses.

Assisi Fun Day 2024

After a hiatus of three years due to COVID restrictions, Assisi brought back Assisi Fun Day on 11 June 2023 and we saw an overwhelming support from the community with more than 10,000 visitors at the carnival. This was made possible with your support to at Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in 2023.

Next year, the Assisi Fun Day will be held at St Joseph Institution International (SJII) on 9 June 2024 and the success of this event depends greatly on the support from you the parishioners. We look forward to a reunion of hearts and hands as we continue to serve the community with funds raised from this carnival.

Please continue to bless and help us in our mission of caring for the sick, dying and the poor in our community. Thank you and God bless.
