Celebration of the sacraments of Christian Initiation

April 18, 2017

On Sunday, April 23, at the 6 p.m. Mass at the Church of the Gesu, members of the Marquette community will receive the sacraments of Christian Initiation. Rev. Thomas Anderson, S.J., assistant director of Campus Ministry, will preside.

One candidate for full initiation will receive Baptism, Confirmation and First Eucharist; two candidates will complete their initiation by receiving the sacrament of Confirmation and First Eucharist; and five candidates will be received into full communion with the Catholic Church and will receive Confirmation and First Eucharist.

These candidates have spent this year growing in Catholic, Christian faith through either the Rite of Christian Initiation process or Confirmation program sponsored by Campus Ministry.

All members of the Marquette community are invited to attend the Mass and the reception immediately afterwards in support of these students. The reception will take place in the gathering space in the lower church.

For more information, contact Steve Blaha, assistant director of Campus Ministry, at (414) 288-6873.

Please note that the only university-sponsored Mass will be held at 6 p.m. at the Church of the Gesu on Sunday, April 23. There will be no 9 p.m. Mass in the Chapel of the Holy Family.
