Welcome! We are glad that you are interested in finding out more about Catholicism and we hope that this introduction will lead you to discover more. How do I find out about Catholic Christianity? One of the best ways is to contact a Catholic parish near you to let them know that you are interested in finding out more about Catholic Christianity. You will be invited to join with others like yourself as you inquire into what “being a Catholic Christian” is all about: who we are, what we believe, how we pray, how we live our lives, and more. If you are interested in reading about Catholic Christianity, there are a number of excellent resources available. Extensive and authoritative compilations of Catholic Christian beliefs include the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and the United States Catholic Catechism for Adults, all of which you can order online or from your favorite bookstore. What if I think that I want to become a Catholic Christian? We believe that God calls individuals to live the Good News Jesus proclaimed and to become his disciples as members of the Catholic Church. If you want to become a Catholic Christian, you will participate in a process called the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (sometimes called RCIA or simply Christian initiation). Adults or children who have reached the age of reason (about 7 years old) learn about the teachings of Jesus as the Catholic Church has handed them on and put these teachings into practice by living as part of the Catholic community, praying and serving others. What does initiation into the Catholic faith entail? If you have not been baptized, the Christian initiation process prepares you to become a Catholic Christian by celebrating what we call the sacraments of Christian initiation: Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist or Holy Communion. If you were baptized in another Christian tradition, the initiation process prepares you to enter into full communion with the Catholic Church by celebrating the sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist or Holy Communion. Finally, if you were baptized in the Catholic Church but never received any other sacraments, the RCIA process prepares you for the completion of Christian initiation by celebrating the sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist or Holy Communion. How long does it take to become a Catholic Christian? Being a Catholic Christian is a life-long commitment. Therefore, in order to prepare to take this step, the Christian initiation process typically lasts from one to two years for the unbaptized, and from a few months to a year for baptized Christians from other traditions. Participants in the initiation process generally meet once or twice each week, including part of the Mass on Sunday, but each parish initiation schedule varies. The initiation of persons who are ready to become new members of the Catholic Church usually takes place at Easter (in March or April), although sometimes persons become members of the Catholic Church at other times throughout the year. What if I change my mind? You do not make any commitment or obligation by inquiring about Catholic Christianity or beginning the Christian initiation process. We want you to take the time you need as you think about becoming a Catholic Christian and we respect your decision to stop or to say, “not right now” at any time. While we love being Catholic Christians and hope that others will also want to become members of the Catholic Church, we do not exert pressure on anyone to do so. Our hope would be that at the very least, you would come to a greater appreciation of Catholic Christian beliefs and practices.

Katekumenat – priprava odraslih za sakramente kršćanske inicijacije TEČAJ PRIPRAVE ODRASLIH za primanje sakramenata: krštenja potvrde pričesti Pozivamo odrasle, koji još nisu primili sakramente kršćanske inicijacije (krštenje, svetu pričest i potvrdu ili samo neki od njih) a to žele, da se prijave u vrijeme rada župnog ureda. Tečaj će započeti 22. 10. 2016. u 19,00 sati. Informacije: u župnom uredu u uredovnom vremenu ili na tel. 615-950. KATEKUMENAT Katekumenat pohađaju kandidati koji žele primiti sakramente kršćanske inicijacije (krštenje, potvrda i euharistija), ali i oni koji su već kršteni, ali u odrasloj dobi žele primiti sakramente potvrde i euharistije. Katehetski susreti se održavaju jedanput u tjednu u trajanju od jednoga sata. Krsno slavlje, kao i slavlje podjele svete potvrde i euharistije bit će za vrijeme vazmenog bdijenja, u subotu uoču Uskrsa. Proces izgradnje u vjeri i primanja spoznaja o vjeri traje cijeli život, a ovaj službeni dio traje do svetkovine Uskrsa. Zainteresirani neka se prethodno jave u Župni ured (u u redovno vrijeme ili župniku), kako bismo ih upisali među ovogodišnje kandidate. Oni koji su već kršteni trebaju iz župe svojega krštenja donijeti Potvrdu o krštenju. Mir i dobro! Franjevci Karlovac.
