OUR MISSION STATEMENT
Founded in the good news of Christ that “God so loved the world that he gave
(us) his only Son” (Jn 3:16) and knowing that he (Christ) “came that we might
have life—life in all fullness” (Jn 10:10) and rooted in Jesus’ command to “Love
one another as I have loved you” (Jn 13:34), we the members of Christ the
Redeemer Parish commit ourselves:
† To foster an understanding and sharing of Christ’s message
† To celebrate the glory of God in liturgy which recognizes our diversity and
calls us to oneness in God’s presence
† To challenge the faithful to respond to Christ’s call to meet the needs of all
people with compassion and charity.

INITIATION
RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION FOR ADULTS (RCIA)
“By faith…and vigilance”
Today’s Gospel may seem harsh. But its truth is that we do not know the day or
hour when we will be called to our Maker. What we do know we live by faith,
trusting that beyond the evidence of what can be seen, God will keep his promise
to us.
Our ancestors offered the sacrifice of the Passover in obedience to the Lord
through which they were freed from slavery, received the blessings of the Law and
were given a home. St. Paul reminds us that God’s call extends beyond this. We do
not look back to return, but are drawn forward to seek our final resting place in
heaven.
Jesus, you remind us that faith requires trust. Trust involves the unknown.
Let this not cause us consternation and fear, but rather motivate us to eagerly
anticipate your return and be ready to serve one another until you call us home.
If you are an unbaptized adult or have an unbaptized child over the age of 7
interested in becoming catholic through the sacraments of baptism, confirmation,
and communion or are from a different denomination and interested in becoming
Catholic, please contact Jay Cuasay, Director of Faith Formation at 703-430-0811
ext. 130 or [email protected]
