Assuming a Parish
Join Our Congregation
We have to try to arrange appropriate retreats, missions, Para-liturgical ceremonies also for non-Catholics and non-Christians; we invite them first to pray to God with us; then, little by little, very kindly and prudently, we help them to get a knowledge of our religion, of our feasts, of our Biblical prayers; then we promote their cooperation with us in works of charity. (See art. 771, 2 of Canon law). Always with the permit of the ordinary, we may invite the leaders of non- Catholics and non – Christians religious to come to our churches with their people, and together with us, to offer to God some prayers, which are appropriate to their and our religion. (Con. art.188-191)
