Senior Adults

Adult Faith Formation

June 7, 2022 By Grace Koleczek

Adult Faith Formation at Risen Savior is looking for people who feel nudged to share their gifts through the following ministries:

  • Hospitality at baptisms: this would involve setting up for infant baptisms before Mass, greeting families and their guests, & putting items away afterwards. Training and mentoring provided! Commitment is 3-4 times/year on Sundays when we have baptisms; typically during 9 or 11am masses. People who are gifted at making people feel welcomed and comfortable would be great fits for this role!
  • RCIA Sponsors: RCIA is the process through which adults receive sacraments of initiation into the Catholic church. Sponsors journey with their candidate through the process by attending RCIA sessions at least once/month and checking in with their candidate via phone, text, email, or in person as works for their relationship. They also attend the RCIA Rites throughout the year. We never know who will present themselves to be an RCIA candidate each year, so right now we are compiling a list of interested potential sponsors! The RCIA process typically runs Sept-Pentecost the following year. Sponsors must be fully initiated Catholics. People who enjoy forming meaningful relationships, sharing their faith, and mentoring others would be great fits here!
  • Baptism Catechists: this role would lead the baptism preparation class for parents and godparents. Training and mentorship provided. Commitment is 4-6 times/year on the first Monday/monthly from 7-8:30pm. Currently the class is on Zoom. People with gifts for teaching and facilitating small groups would be great fits!
  • RCIA Team: RCIA is the process through which adults receive sacraments of initiation into the Catholic church. They say it takes a village to raise a child. Well, it takes a village of disciples to mentor a person into the faith! Team members assist in facilitating the RCIA sessions; curriculum and lesson plans with training and mentorship provided. Team members should be fully initiated Catholics. Commitment will vary based on the response. Most likely will involve 1 Sunday/month September through Pentecost from 10-11:30am and 1x/month team meeting. People with gifts for teaching, facilitating, and who have a mature faith would be great fits!

If you are interested in exploring any of these roles, please contact Grace Koleczek at grace.koleczek@risensavior.org or 952-698-1724. If you know a friend who you think would be a good fit…encourage them to consider it!

Season of Creation 2021: A home for all? Renewing the oikos of God

September 1, 2021 By Grace Koleczek

About the Season of Creation: September 1st-October 4th
The Season of Creation is celebrated annually by tens of thousands of Christians around the world. During the Season of Creation, we pray and act to protect God’s creation. The Season of Creation is celebrated by Christians across the ecumenical spectrum, and the leaders of many faith traditions have encouraged us to participate.
The season begins on September 1, the Day of Prayer for Creation, and runs through
October 4, the Feast of St. Francis, who is the patron saint of ecology in many traditions.
This season is a special time for the Creator and each other. Some of us pray, some of
us do hands-on projects, some of us advocate. We all protect creation.
The momentum continues long after the season ends. By seeding ongoing prayer,
changes in lifestyle, and advocacy, the season grows hope in our communities each
year. It’s powerfully good work that’s urgently needed.

Season of Creation Prayer for 2021

Creator of All,
We are grateful that from your communion of love you created our planet to be a home
for all. By your Holy Wisdom you made the Earth to bring forth a diversity of living beings that filled the soil, water and air. Each part of creation praises you in their being, and cares for one another from our place in the web of life.
With the Psalmist, we sing your praise that in your house “even the sparrow finds a
home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young.” We remember that you call human beings to keep your garden in ways that honor the dignity of each creature and conserve their place in the abundance of life on Earth.
But we know that our will to power pushes the planet beyond her limits. Our
consumption is out of harmony and rhythm with Earth’s capacity to heal herself.
Habitats are left barren or lost. Species are lost and systems fail. Where reefs and
burrows, mountaintops and ocean deeps once teemed with life and relationships, wet
and dry deserts lie empty, as if uncreated. Human families are displaced by insecurity
and conflict, migrating in search of peace. Animals flee fires, deforestation and famine,
wandering in search of a new place to find a home to lay their young and live.
In this Season of Creation, we pray that the breath of your creative Word would move
our hearts, as in the waters of our birth and baptism. Give us faith to follow Christ to our just place in the beloved community. Enlighten us with the grace to respond to your
covenant and call to care for our common home. In our tilling and keeping, gladden our
hearts to know that we participate with your Holy Spirit to renew the face of your Earth, and safeguard a home for all.
In the name of the One who came to proclaim good news to all creation, Jesus Christ.
Amen.
