Bible Study / Faith Sharing

We have our weekly bible study and faith sharing sessions at all three parishes. We use these times to study, relfect, and pray with the Scripture and deepen our faith. They are also opportunities for fellowship, so we ask that each participating family or couple bring a small dish to partake with other participants.

• Mondays, from 6PM to 8PM, at St. Paul in Electra
• Wednesdays, from 7PM to 9PM, at St. Jude in Burkburnett
• Sundays, from 6PM to 8PM at Christ the King in Iowa Park

R.C.I.A. - Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

• Questions and Answers about R.C.I.A. from the United States Conference of Bishops (U.S.C.C.B.)
• Resources on R.C.I.A. from the Diocese of Fort Worth
• Diocesan Guidelines for the Preparation and Celebration of the Sacraments of Initiation

The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) is a process for welcoming new members into the Roman Catholic Church.

The RCIA is a community journey leading to a transformation of mind and spirit; a personal journey in which participants re-examine their relationship with God. Guided by the Gospel and encouraged by the welcome of church members, newcomers find their place in the community of believers.

The sessions meet once a week beginning in September, and conclude with the celebration of the Sacraments of Initiation during the Easter Vigil Mass.

We meet at 7:00PM till 9:00PM on Wednesday evening.
The sessions are held in the Fr. Severius J. Blank Education Building at St. Jude, Burkburnett, Texas.
