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) meets on Sunday Mornings. It is a two year sacramental process which is an adaptation of the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults for children under the age of 18. It is open to both the un-baptized and to those who were baptized in the Catholic Church, but have missed the study and sacramental preparation offered in early grade school. It is also open to those baptized in other traditions. Regular attendance of both the child and at least one parent is expected.

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, and 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.

We will be starting sessions in October. 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.

This day we celebrate when the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples of Jesus. t the 9:00 AM Mass on May 20th we will be commissioning the Newly Baptized, Newly Received for those in RCIA and CMI.

Service Project 2018: On Sunday, May 6th 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 their families. Thank You!

Children’s Ministry of Initiation (CMI) is a process for children 7 years of age or older. Immediate preparations are now underway for our CMI sessions to begin in October.

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

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.

In the Church’s rite of baptism—both infant and adult—the newly baptized is clothed in a white garment as they come out of the font. What does it mean to drop your old clothes and be robed in a white garment? The rite tells us to see in our white garment a sign of our new life with Christ. Now you are putting on Christ and clothing yourself with his way of life. It was customary for the newly baptized to wear their white robes for the full 50 days celebrating Easter. In fact, anyone who was a neophyte or long-baptized could wear this white garment publicly as a sign of their transformation.

“You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, That you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” --1 Peter 2:9. Congratulations and Welcome!

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. We rejoice and are glad in this EASTER Day!
