Children’s Ministry of Initiation (CMI) is a family centered program.  If you wish to have your child initiated (receive the sacraments of baptism, confirmation, Eucharist) into the Catholic Church, but have not been actively practicing and wish to resume practicing, this process would be a great place for your family to journey together. For more information, contact Marie Staffa at 847-885-7700, ext. 124 or mstaffa@sainthubert.org.

The Catechumenate for Children/Teens, which is an Adaptation of the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (R.C.I.A.), is the process by which unbaptized young people of the age of reason come into The Church.

Tomorrow we celebrate the Holy Spirit’s coming upon the disciples of Jesus. They were "filled with the Holy Spirit" and never again would be content to keep their faith to themselves. They were all fired up by the Spirit to share the Good News with everyone. At the 9:00 AM Mass on June 9th we will be commissioning the Newly Baptized, Newly Received, those in RCIA and CMI.

This process allows families with children to join other families who are seeking to become closer to God. St. Hubert ministers to the whole family as their children journey toward Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist or full reception into the Catholic Church. We will be starting sessions in October.

Service Project 2019 On Sunday, May 19th the students in CMI spent the morning planting flowers to beautify the entrance of the Parish Ministry Center. This was made possible by the generous donations of the CMI students. Thank You!

Rite of Welcome today at the 9:00 AM Mass.

The RCIA/ CMI Team would like to thank the sponsors, parish companions, godparents and family members who accompanied our new members on their faith journey.  Your devotion has guided and supported them in their preparation. A big thanks to all those who helped in forming and catechizing our new members. We appreciate you giving us new insights into our Catholic Faith, and to you, St. Hubert Parishioners, who prayed for our new members on their journey to the Easter Sacraments and who participated with them in the rituals of the RCIA, THANK YOU and GOD BLESS YOU.

Congratulations and Welcome to our newly baptized, those in full communion with the Catholic Church through profession of faith and the celebration of Confirmation and Eucharist. and Catholics completing their initiation through Confirmation and Eucharist at the Easter Vigil

FACING EVIL: The Power of Jesus Christ Helps Us Overcome It.

Do you know what it looks like to be an everyday disciple of Jesus? On Sunday, March 10, the adults and children in the RCIA and CMI process—our Catechumens and Candidates requested the parish’s approval to receive the Easter sacraments. Please continue to pray for them all during this Lenten Season, a “Period of Purification and Enlightenment.”

Those present for the 9:00 liturgy on Sunday, March 10 will participate with the RCIA and CMI candidates and catechumens in a significant step in their conversion journey: the Rite of Sending for Election and Continuing Conversion. In this ritual, having heard the testimony of the sponsors, RCIA and CMI team members, and the Faith Community of St. Hubert, we will send the candidates and catechumens to these rites.

The birth of the Christ Child brings joy to our lives this Christmas Season. Even if we have been away from the Church, God is continually inviting us to dwell in his love and presence. Have you and your family been "away" from the Catholic Church? Is your family trying to find its way back? If so—then Children’s Ministry of Initiation (CMI) can help.

This is the first of the public ritual celebrated in the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) process.

Classes begin Sunday, October 14. We still have room for you and your family.

CMI is primarily for children who fit the following criteria: Children who are of school age and have not been baptized; Children who were baptized in another Christian tradition but wish to be members of the Catholic Church; Children who were baptized in the Catholic Church but have not received formal instruction in the faith and have not received the other Sacraments of Initiation (Holy Eucharist and Confirmation). Classes begin October 14.

The Catechumenate for Children/Teens, which is an Adaptation of the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (R.C.I.A.), is the process by which unbaptized young people of the age of reason come into the Church. (Infant Baptism is only for those children under the age of reason.) Older children who are already baptized, but who are uncatechized, also can prepare to celebrate the sacraments of Confirmation and Holy Eucharist together with their peers during the Easter Vigil or at a Rite of Full Communion.

Do you have an older child who has not been baptized? Do you have a son or daughter who is past the age of seven/eight who has not received First Communion? CMI at St. Hubert is designed for those children who are un-baptized or un-catechized. Together with their parents, children attend classes. Classes begin on October 14.

Children’s Ministry of Initiation (CMI) is a process for children 7 years of age or older. CMI is a vibrant part of the parish's welcoming and evangelical efforts for families wishing to learn more about becoming a Catholic Christian or reconnecting to the church. CMI provides families with the opportunities for religious education, prayer, service, and reception of the sacraments (Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist).

Has expressed an interest in becoming Catholic? Has a child over the age of seven who has not been baptized? Was baptized Catholic as a child, but has not celebrated the sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist? Children’s Ministry of Initiation (CMI) offers an opportunity to come together in a small group to learn more about our faith. Sessions focus on the teachings and experience of the Church and prepare individuals to celebrate the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist during the Easter season. You are welcome to participate in the process with your questions, your insights, and your faith story in a warm accepting setting.

Children’s Ministry of Initiation (CMI) is a special parish process for families with children in grades 3 through 8 who are unbaptized children over the age of 7 who wish to learn more about the Catholic Faith and possibly become Catholic; baptized Christian Children from other denominations who would like to learn  more about the Catholic Faith, and possibly be received into, the Catholic  Church; or baptized Catholics who would like to prepare for Eucharist and Confirmation by renewing their understanding of their Catholic Faith. Classes begin on October 14.
