Evangelize Your Catholic Faith in the Raleigh, NC St. Patrick's Day Parade

If you're Catholic and live in the Raleigh/Durham, NC, area, please join One Bread Lay Apostolate as a marcher in the Raleigh St Patrick's Day Parade, Saturday, March 21, 2009. We will be distributing thousands of St Patrick biographical cards to the spectators that also includes an invitation to attend Mass at a Catholic Church near them.

To participate, purchase a "Catholic Evangelist" t-shirt, our group's parade uniform, using the Patrick's Day Parade Registration form.

Area catholic youth can compete for the annual Catholic Youth Evangelization Award. The youth group with the best appearance and performance in the parade will win the award. Register your Catholic youth to participate using the Catholic Youth Evangelization Award Registration form.

Free Classes on Catholicism

Did you know that every Catholic Church in the United States offers free courses on the Catholic faith? That means the Catholic Church in your home town offers this as well. All you have to do to register for these classes is call your local Catholic Church and tell them you want to particate in the RCIA or Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults. Now if you want to go ahead and become Catholic, this curriculum would lead to your formal entry into the Catholic Church the day before Easter. But you can choose to participate in the Inquiry phase to learn about the Catholic faith, without continuing further, that is if you decide that the Catholic Church is not for you. Either way, the classes are free, and you'll learn about the Catholic faith from the Church itself, not get misinformation from some of the Church's critics.

Good news is these courses start in the fall of each year - so if you're interested, call the Catholic Church in your community now. To locate a Catholic Church in your area, visit this website: http://www.parishesonline.com/scripts/default.asp/.

Below is a website that defines RCIA and provides a history of the process: www.catholicdoors.com/courses/rcia.htm

Below are some conversion stories of people who have participated in the RCIA program:

Free Stuff for Non-Catholics
Jesus said that the gift of salvation he has freely given to us, we should pass on to others. In Matthew 10:11, Jesus said: "freely ye have received, freely give." If you're not Catholic and want to learn more about the Catholic faith from the Church itself, email us at 1bread@excite.com and we'll send you free information.
