On Tuesday, 7 March at 8:00 pm, there will be a special Mass at St Joseph’s for the Presentation of the Creed to the elect.
The Creed is the heart of our faith. It embodies what we believe which is why a special liturgy is celebrated to present it to those seeking full communion with the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil. Since the early centuries, the Creed has been presented to the elect in the weeks prior to Easter to help them prepare for the sacraments of initiation. The special liturgy is designed to help the elect understand “the meaning and importance of the Creed in relation to the teaching that the elect have already received and to the profession of faith that they must make at their baptism and uphold throughout their lives” (RCIA 159).
The Mass is open to everyone, so please come and witness this very special moment in the journey of the elect, and our journey as a parish community as well.
