WELCOME MASS & LUNCH SUNDAY, AUGUST 29TH
The tradition of invoking the graces and blessings of the Holy Spirit at the beginning of the academic year is longstanding and we are very fortunate to have Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus Vincent M. Rizzotto, D.D. come to the U of H to celebrate with us. On Sunday, August 29th at 10:45 AM at the A D Bruce Religion Center, we’ll welcome back all members of the UH Catholic Newman Center Community with the Mass of the Holy Spirit. At this Mass we will formally present the new Catholic Student Organization Officers to the community. Following the Mass a Welcome Lunch will be served at the UH Catholic Newman Center. All are welcome, so invite your families and friends.

RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION FOR ADULTS (R.C.I.A.) & CATHOLIC CONFIRMATION CLASSES
The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (R.C.I.A.) is a program for those who want to be fully initiated into the Catholic Church (receive Baptism, Confirmation, and First Eucharist). It is also a program for those who have completed part of their initiation, but still lack catechesis (formation in Church doctrine). Those who are seeking only Adult Confirmation can also join this program. Classes begin on Sunday, September 12th from 1:30 PM - 3:30 PM at the UH Catholic Newman Center. We are also seeking sponsors (spiritual companions) for those who are preparing to receive the sacraments this year. Sponsors must be practicing Catholics who are willing to commit to accompanying a candidate or catechumen on their faith journey. If you are interested in becoming Catholic, being Confirmed, or in being a sponsor for one of these individuals, please contact Giovan Cuchapin at (713) 748 – 2529 or e-mail at fcuchapin [at] uh [dot] edu (fcuchapin [at] uh [dot] edu)
