All are welcome to pray before the Eucharistic Presence of Our Lord, whether you are Catholic or not.

Although the term R.C.I.A. (Rites of Christian Initiation of Adults) really refers only to the liturgical celebrations that mark certain steps in an adult’s preparation for baptism, the term has come to be applied to the whole program for educating non-Catholics interested in learning more about the Catholic Church.
The program here at All Saints is designed to provide such people with the information they need to make the decision of whether to request baptism, or (for those already baptized in another Christian church) reception into full communion with the Catholic Church.
Anyone interested in becoming Catholic, please call the parish office: (859) 485-4476. Dr. Bill Hogue leads our RCIA program.Learn more about Becoming Catholic.
BaptismThe Catholic Church asks parents to have their children baptized as soon as possible after the birth of their child. First time parents are required to attend a brief class designed to help you pass your faith to your children, preferably before your baby is born.
Please call Paul or Michelle Whelan, (859) 485-6134, for baptism class information. To schedule a date for the baptism, please call the parish secretary.

Baptisms may be celebrated during any of the Saturday evening or Sunday Morning Masses. Having a baptism during Mass is a wonderful way of acknowledging the fact that baptism makes us part of a larger family – The Church. If parents have a strong preference for a more private celebration, the preferred time is after the last Mass on Sunday (approximately 12:15 p.m.).
Please do not delay baptism for social reasons! It is much more important that your child be given the new life of baptism, and sanctifying grace, than the baptism be delayed for any reason. For centuries it was the custom to baptize infants in the first week after their birth, and, to be quite frank, the pastor of All Saints thinks this was a very good custom!
Children above the age of 7 who wish to be baptized will be required to enroll either in St.Joseph Academy, or in the Sunday Morning Religious Education Program, or (in the case of home-schooled children) to demonstrate sufficient understanding of the sacrament.
Teenagers (15 and above) and Adults who are interested in being baptized are required to go through the parish RCIA Program, whether they have been home-schooled, gone to a Catholic school, or attended CCD classes.

MatrimonyThe Diocese of Covington requires couples to notify their pastor six months before the planned date of their wedding. This allows the pastor time to arrange a good spiritual preparation for the celebration of the holy sacrament. Remember that all couples who are planning to celebrate their wedding here at All Saints are required to
-
+ meet two or three times with the pastor
-
+ attend one of the diocesan sponsored programs
-
+ attend the NFP classes
Preferred time for weddings: Saturday, 2:00p.m.
Thinking about the Priesthood or Religious Life?
“When Jesus lived on this earth, he manifested in himself the definitive role of the priest, by establishing a ministerial priesthood, with which the Apostles were the first to be invested.” (Pope John Paul II, Pastores Dabo Vobis, 5)

Annointing of the SickPlease notify the parish office (859) 485-4476 when you or a member of your family is seriously ill so that arrangements can be made for Fr. Schulte to come to the home and administer this important sacrament.
A person need not be in immediate danger of death to receive this Sacrament. Those of the faithful whose health is seriously impaired by sickness or old age are encouraged to receive this sacrament.
Note: If you are going to go into the hospital, please notify the rectory. All patients at St. Elizabeth’s are offered the Sacrament of Anointing by the hospital chaplain, but some of the other hospitals do not have this arrangement. Fr. Schulte would be happy to come to the hospital and administer the sacrament, but he cannot do this if you do not alert him.
If you are going to be confined to your home for a lengthy period of time and will not be able to attend Sunday Mass, please call the parish office so that arrangements can be made for someone to bring you Holy Communion.
