What does the word “neophyte” mean? It means “new plant” and is the name that the Church gives to those who celebrated the Easter Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist) at the Easter Vigil. Our newly initiated parishioners next gathering will be Thursday, May 7th, at 6:00 p.m. in St. Augustine Parish Hall. Please keep our neophytes in your prayers as they continue on their journey in the faith. If you haven’t had a chance to write them a note of support and welcome, please do so and place the notes in the envelopes under the neophytes’ pictures in either church. We will present them with these pictures and envelopes on the Feast of Pentecost.
