Share the journey of faith by sponsoring an adult who wishes to join our Catholic community through the Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA) program. A sponsor is an active Catholic who is willing to be a companion to someone going through the RCIA process. As they get acquainted they listen, answer questions, pray together, and connect with the parish. Sponsors find their role to be one that enriches and deepens their faith as well. It is an enriching experience. As one sponsor said, "I am learning and growing at a better pace than if I had not sponsored someone. It is fascinating to hear the questions they ask and to see them evolve through the process." Sponsors are not meant to have all the answers ( in fact, it is better if they don't ). Their main role is to be a friend and companion on the journey.
If interested in becoming a OCIA sponsor please contact Dawn Rittter at 989-723-4277 ext. 1105.
