R.C.I.A. Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults

The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults is a formation process designed for adults who are considering joining the Catholic Church. Through a program consisting of presentations, discussions, study and prayer, individuals learn the beliefs, teachings and traditions of the Roman Catholic Church.

Inquiry Meetings

We will have information sessions this summer called Inquiry. These meetings are opportunities for individuals who are interested in Catholicism to ask any and all questions about the Catholic Church. Sessions are not sequential and you may come to any or all of the meetings. Our first Inquiry Meeting will be held on Monday, June 7 at 7:00 pm in the Parish Life Center.

RCIA Meetings

Once the R.C.I.A. formation process meetings begin, they are held on Monday evenings in the Parish Life Center from 7:00pm to 8:30pm.

R.C.I.A. SPONSOR

R.C.I.A. sponsors "walk with" adults who are preparing to become Catholic through the RCIA process. Interaction during the R.C.I.A. process encourages both sponsor and candidate/catechumen to share their faith journeys. Sponsors support and pray for their candidate/catechumen during the process.
