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

This year begins on September 12, 2023


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’ve got a number of RCIA participants already onboard for this year’s journey.   Dear friends, we’d love to welcome MORE!  Please let us know if there's anyone in your life who's interested in becoming Catholic or even just testing the waters or going deeper when it comes to the Catholic Faith.
