Thinking of Becoming Catholic? If you are thinking about becoming Catholic, then the Rite of

Christian Initiation for Adults program (RCIA) is for you. RCIA

teaches people about our church and prepares them to become

Catholic, if they wish.

God often speaks to people through others…especially their

relatives and friends. Do you have a friend or relative who would

like to learn more about God…and about your Catholic faith? The

program will begin in September, so now is the time to invite the

people you care about to learn what it’s like to be Catholic. For

more info call 812-934-2603.

DID YOU KNOW . . . Part II George Calvert, the first Lord Baltimore, had decided before his death that

Maryland (Mary's Land), was not to be a colony just for Catholics, but a place where

Christians of different denominations could practice their faith without

impediment. Religious toleration became the official policy of the Maryland colony,

as did recognition of the Native Americans as a separate people with inherent

rights. This was extraordinary for the time. These two progressive pieces of 17th-

century policy foreshadowed the provisions of the U.S. Constitution guaranteeing

separation of church and state and subsequent laws enacted to protect civil rights.

St. Clements Island, Maryland: Where the first Catholic Mass in what would

become the United States was celebrated; Where Jesuits erected the first cross in

what would be the U.S.; Where settlers, seeking religious freedom in the New World

and granting it to others, would later be denied this freedom themselves. In 1654,

Protestants overthrew the proprietary government of Maryland. The new regime

outlawed the Catholic faith and repealed the Act of Toleration of 1649. In 1692,

Anglicanism was decreed the official religion of the state. Understanding what the

first Catholics endured both in Europe and the U.S. should help us today to

understand the importance of standing up for religious freedom in our own times.

FESTIVAL RAFFLE TICKETS If you have not picked up your raffle tickets, PLEASE do so this

weekend. This will help keep down the cost of mailing the tickets.

The tickets are in the vestibule of the church and will be available
