CHILDREN'S LITURGY OF THE WORD
Children’s Liturgy of the Word is conducted during the two Sunday masses at the same time as the adults’ Liturgy of the Word to provide young children with the opportunity to read and study the Scriptures on an age-appropriate level. Children return to their families in the main body of the church for the Preparation of the Gifts. Any adults interested in becoming involved with this ministry are asked to contact the parish office at (518) 465-3685.

LITURGIA DE LA PALABRA PARA NIÑOS
Liturgia de la Palabra para Niños se conduce durante la Misa, para brindar a los niños la oportunidad de leer y reflexionar en las Sagradas Escrituras en su propio nivel. Si estas interesado en participar de este ministerio, ten la bondad de comunicarte con la Directora de Formación de Fe.

RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION FOR ADULTS (R.C.I.A.)
RCIA is the process for receiving baptized non-Catholic adults into full communion with the Catholic Church as well as preparing non-baptized adults for the reception of the "Sacraments of Initiation" - Baptism, Confirmation, First Reconciliation, and First Eucharist. Classes usually begin in the fall and conclude after Easter. The process culminates with the celebration of these sacraments during the Easter Vigil. Please call Fr. Joe Angelini at (518) 465-3685 for further information.

RCIA
RICA es el proceso en que los bautizados en otra religión son recibidos en comunión con la Iglesia Católica al igual que los adultos que no han sido bautizados son preparados para recibir los “sacramentos de iniciación” – Bautismo, Confirmación, Reconciliación y Comunión. La preparación comienza en otoño y concluye después de la Pascua. Ten la bondad de llamar al Padre José para obtener mayor información.
