Husband becoming Catholic - Having a party

[williej1]

Hello, I am having a party for my husband who has newely become Catholic. How should I word the invitation?

“You’re invited to …” - Baptism, Holy Communion, and Confirmation don’t seem appropriate (since he has recieved all sacrements throughout his RCIA classes). I am not sure how to phrase it. Thanks for your help.

You could call it a coming out party… coming out of the darkness into the light of Christ! That was just the first idea that crossed my mind, I thought it was cute.

Congrats! Have a great party!

I vote for this one, but obviously you have to keep in mind the intended audience…you might, for example, want to think twice before sending this invitation to his grandmother. May result in a few ruffled feathers.

In Baptism he was clothed with Christ
In Confirmation he was empowered by the Holy Spirit
In Communion he was received into the fullness of life in the Trinity
