Every TUESDAY evening at 7:00pm-9:00pm from September to Easter each year.
The 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.
