Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)
MinistriesThe Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a program for people interested in the Catholic faith, whether they are non-Catholics thinking about becoming Catholic, or Catholics who wish to learn more and/or embrace the Catholic faith. The classes present the complete Catechism of the Catholic Church in a yearly cycle. They begin in late September but anyone is welcome to join at any point in the year. Visitors are welcome and questions are encouraged, so please come and find out more about what Catholics believe!
For those new to the faith, these classes lead into the Sacraments of Initiation, namely Baptism (for those not yet baptized, or baptized in another denomination), Confirmation and the Holy Eucharist.
We begin on Tues., Sept. 8, 2026 at 7:00pm in our parish hall.
Our RCIA Team are:
- Fiona Dwan
- Lisa Marquis
- Deacon Pat & Lynn Dwan
- Fr. Mark McGuckin
- Theresa Hee
- Shang Cai
- Juli Kusmanto
RCIA 2026 2027
Whether you are exploring the Catholic faith for the first time, or were baptized earlier in life and are now seeking to complete your Sacraments of Initiation, you are warmly invited to consider the RCIA journey at St. Francis de Sales parish.
This process is not a programme to rush through, but a welcoming path of prayer, learning, and accompaniment, beginning this September. Click on the button below to let us know that you’re interested.
