Roman Catholic Counselors Needed

A growing number of Catholics are asking for counseling that reflects Catholic values and spirituality in addition to their needs or concerns. To meet this important need, the Diocese of Providence is hoping to add to our referral list of Catholic-oriented counselors. Counselors who are interested in being on our referral list should be a practicing Catholic, embrace the teachings of the Catholic Church, and have a valid license to practice counseling. For information about our referral list, please contact Peter Magnotta at 401-278-2517 or [email protected].

Join us for Holy Mass at St. Christopher's in Tiverton, followed by Karaoke at Long Plex, 300 Industrial Way. All young adults in their 20s and 30s are welcome! Bring a friend! More at evangelizeri.org/yae

Certificate in Catholic Theology

Be anchored in the Truth

Registration closing soon!

Get the essential Catholic theological framework that provides you with the underpinnings of our faith so you can be a better catechist, Catholic school teacher, parish volunteer, parent—or simply as a disciple. 

The course will give you the toolbox you need to understand your faith more fully and will provide you with a vocabulary to explain, perhaps defend, what it is that you believe. Each session will be taught by experienced professors and practitioners.

Come learn and grow in your journey of discipleship and discover the beauty of the Church’s intellectual tradition.

The Rosary Congresses began in Poland in May 1979 to coincide with Pope St. John Paul II's historic visit to the former Communist country. They are now held in dozens of dioceses throughout the United States annually. Join us in responding to Our Lady of Fatima’s call to conversion, consecration and prayer, offered in a spirit of reparation, for life, peace, and the deep healing of our Church.

Lourdes Virtual Pilgrimage Experience™

Sat., October 19 from 7 to 9 p.m.

St. Philip Parish, 622 Putnam Pike, Greenville

 

Like an actual Pilgrimage to Lourdes, the Lourdes Virtual Pilgrimage Experience™ is a holy encounter with God under the watchful care of Our Lady of Lourdes, re-creating a pilgrimage to Lourdes without ever leaving Rhode Island! This prayerful experience will draw us nearer to God in the company of Our Lady as we are guided through a prayerful visit to the Grotto, the experience of the water, prayer in a Rosary procession and a Eucharistic blessing. This live interaction experience will be guided by Our Lady of Lourdes Hospitality, North American Volunteers, the first Lourdes Hospitality of the Americas.

Not everyone can travel to Lourdes, but the Virtual Pilgrimage can make it possible to experience this same peace and healing.

Upcoming Vestigo Retreat Opportunities Vestigo Retreat for 18+ : Fri., Nov. 8 through Sun., Nov. 10 Vestigo Retreat for High School : Fri., Dec. 13 through Sun., Dec. 15 Vestigo (pronounced Vehs-teego), derived from the Latin for "I search" or "I investigate," captures the essence of exploration and discovery. Vestigo is a three-day retreat that guides you as you wrestle with life's most fundamental questions: Where did I come from? What is the purpose of my life? Where am I going? Though universal and timeless, these questions often go unaddressed today due to the noise and busyness of modern life. The Vestigo Retreat offers you a refuge from the noise, providing time and space for prayerful reflection and profound revelation. At its core, Vestigo is a retreat rooted in the "kerygma," which means the "proclamation of the Gospel.” Therefore, you will be invited to enter into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church, inspiring you to live a life of virtue and excellence. Jesus said: “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” It is only through a relationship with Him that you will find answers to life’s most fundamental questions. Therefore, you will be invited to enter into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church, inspiring you to live a life of virtue and excellence. Jesus said: “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Find all promotional materials and registration links at evangelizeri.org/vestigo-retreat
