CMI (Children's Ministry of Initiation)

-
Children’s Ministry of Initiation (CMI) is a component of the Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA). CMI is a spiritual journey in faith for children and their parents. Together families discover what it means to be a follower of Christ. Children of catechetical age (seven years of age and older) are prepared to celebrate the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, and Reconciliation.
Preparing Children for their Faith JourneyCMI's Mission
The mission of CMI is to guide children in their faith journey and to prepare them to receive the sacraments. This journey of faith is accomplished through
Scripture: the stories of God’s people.
Teaching: what Catholics believe.
Prayer: how we communicate with God.
Liturgy: how the community worships.
Mission: how we live out what we believe.
CMI helps to strengthen family relationships by encouraging the entire family to enter the process. CMI will enhance family participation in Sunday Liturgy and enable families to build relationships within the parish life of St. Hubert.
Time and Talents
CMI also provides a place where active members of the faith community can share their faith journey, gifts, and talents with others.
CMI is in need of experienced catechists or people who have participated in the RCIA process and are now willing to serve as catechists. Ministers should feel comfortable working with adults, children and families.
CMI also needs sponsor families or individuals who are willing to support a family on this faith journey. CMI meets each Sunday morning from October to June. This ministry continually provides training and information.For More Information
