(Christians Reaching Out Spiritually and Socially) Young Adult Ministry CROSS
provides opportunities for young adults ages 18 to 28, to strengthen their
Christian faith lives through spiritual, service, and social activities. C.R.O.S.S. is an energetic group of young adults meeting each Thursday evening, at 7:00 p.m. in the Youth/Young Adult Center, to strengthen your faith. Each meeting, planned by young adults, includes socializing with friends, a lively liturgical discussion, and prayer. Thursday night group meetings allow you to come closer to the life God invites us to follow. The group is open to new members and friends. Through Scripture, prayer, and reflection on the deeper meanings of life, God invites us all to utilize the spirituality of our inner souls to strengthen ourselves in life. Every other month the CROSS group participates in activities to serve
others in the community. The
social events involve taking trips to Kings Island, bowling, dinner out on
the town and much more. CROSS
involvement in regional and international events also are planned throughout
the year. For more information

remembering to treat each person with dignity and understanding. The Food Pantry is open every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. for needy families or individuals residing in the 45424 Zip Code area. Families are able to come to the pantry once every other month for as long as needed to receive non-perishable food items enough for up to four days.

The R.C.I.A. is a process for welcoming new members into the Roman Catholic Church, for Catholics to gain an adult perspective of their faith and for those who are interested in learning more about the Catholic Church. RCIA is a community journey that leads to a transformation of mind and spirit. Guided by the Gospel and examples set by Church members, newcomers can find their place into the community of believers. The RCIA is a personal journey in which church members re-examine their own relationship with God and for those who are not Catholic, it can lead to a discovering of Christ in their lives. The RCIA can lead to a more full life in the Catholic Community. |
