RCIA Photos This Weekend

All: Please be prepared to have your picture taken this weekend after the Rite of Welcome and Acceptance. If you have anything against photography, we understand. However, nobody has objected in the past! (The pressure is on now, isn't it?) :)

We will use them to make a photo directory, so that you can have a full-color "yearbook" to add to your personal keepsakes. As you progress through RCIA, this photo directory will also help acquaint you to one another more (and remember names, too!)

See you Sunday!
