Reviving the ancient ritual of receiving people into the Church through the sacraments of baptism and Eucharist, the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, or RCIA, has been restored throughout many areas of the Western Church.
Anyone interested in inquiring into the possibility of joining the Catholic Church at Easter is invited to attend one or more preliminary sessions . We invite adults who have not yet been confirmed in the Catholic faith. You may have received your Sacraments of Baptism, Reconciliation, and Eucharist, but somehow slipped through the cracks and were never confirmed. A full initiated Catholic is one who has received ALL FOUR of the Sacraments of Initiation.
The RCIA process consists of the following stages:
RCIA meetings continue every Tuesday evening throughout the session.
All Candidates and Catechumens are received into the Church at the Easter Vigil each year.
If you are interested to know more about the RCIA program, call the Parish Office for more information.
