There may be one positive result of Covid19:  We have gotten a bit more reflective.  For many, those reflections have created a shift in priorities, a greater appreciation for community, and a greater awareness of caring for the needs of others.  And while we are all looking for ways to protect our physical health, many now also seek a healthier spirituality; a search for wisdom, a desire for peace. 
If you have been searching, come and tell us your story.  We would love to hear it! And we would love to tell you ours!  Pope Francis said, “The Church is a house of joy.”         The people of Ss. Robert and William want to share that joy with you.

Now Jesus and his disciples set out for the villages of Caesarea Philippi. Along the way, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that I am?” They said in reply, “John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others one of the prophets.” And he asked them, “But who do you say that I am?”

There comes a point in most people’s lives when they reflect on what matters most to them.  And very often those reflections move them to seek a community of faith – a place where they can tell their story and ask questions, and where they can listen to that community’s story as well.  For the people of Ss. Robert and William, that story is inextricably tied to the person of Jesus Christ.  It is about a relationship that forms who we are and how we relate to God, one another, and our world. It is a way of life that is lived in light of the answer to the questions that Jesus asked his disciples: “…who do you say that I am?”

That is the story that is shared in the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults.)  If you would like to know more, we want to hear your story and we want to introduce you to the way in which a Catholic Christian community lives life in Jesus Christ.  If you are interested in hearing more about what the Catholic Church offers, please call the parish office (216.731.1515) or contact Renee Barber, Fr. John, or Fr. Thom.
