Congratulations to our Neophytes from St Mary’s, Newman Catholic Community and UMass Dartmouth, who received the Sacraments of Initiation at the Easter Vigil through our OCIA Process. You have become members of the Body of Christ - may Our Risen Lord bless you abundantly as you continue to grow as His disciples, nourished by the grace of the Sacraments! Welcome home!
