Led by parents, groups of four or five families meet in homes twice a month for two hours, and gather with all
other FIRE families four times a year. Parents and children in sacramental preparation grades also attend all
the prep classes, retreats and meeting held at the parish.

RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS
Parishioners are needed in this faith-sharing process to assist those who wish to explore the possibility of
joining the Catholic Church. The R.C.I.A., a community-building journey of faith, focuses on Scripture and
the Liturgy, and examines the key elements of our beliefs, history and practices. The process assists participants
to discern their readiness to join the Catholic Church by celebrating the Sacraments of Initiation.

YOUTH MINISTRY
St. Ann’s seeks to provide our middle (grades 6-8) and high school (9-12) youth with a comprehensive experience
of a Catholic social community by offering programs that enable them to grow with one another in faith and
friendship. We strive to promote activities that develop their relationship with Christ and inspire them to reach
out in service to others in the wider community. Parents of these young people are needed to provide assistance
and support for the activities and programs being offered.
Coordinator: Maria Davis
