RCIA
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults will resume on Wednesday, September 15th at 7:00 pm in the school activity room. The RCIA is a process, which provides an opportunity for adults to ask their questions. This is done within a small group of adults, in a very casual, non-threatening environment in which the needs of each person are considered and respected. The RCIA is for non-baptized adults who want to ask questions about the Catholic Church, and who may or may not be thinking of becoming a Catholic; for those married to Catholics who want a better understanding of the faith of their spouse and children. And for those already baptized in a different Christian denomination who may be considering being received into full communion in the Catholic Church and for baptized Catholics who have not yet been confirmed.
