RCIA – the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

Catechumens: non-baptized adults who desire to be fully initiated into the Roman Catholic Church through the Sacraments of Initiation – Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation. During this process, which is marked by regular ritual acts, participants are introduced to the liturgy, the teachings, and the life of the Catholic Church.

Candidates:  baptized adult Catholics or Christians who desire full communion in the Roman Catholic Church seeking complete initiation through the sacraments of the Eucharist and Confirmation. Candidates prepare in a similar way for the sacraments of Confirmation and the Eucharist during their reception into the Catholic Church.

RCIA is a Journey
The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults is a process that proceeds over months consisting of catechesis, faith-discernment, and faith

RCIA Team
The RCIA team help guide, support and instruct those discerning whether to become members of our Catholic community. They share their faith with inquiring adults who are seeking more information about the Catholic Church, many of whom seek to celebrate one or more of the Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation.
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the process through which interested adults are gradually introduced to the Catholic faith and way of life.  All who are interested in becoming Catholic or anyone who has been Baptized and need to complete their sacraments or anyone who wants to learn more about their faith are encouraged to attend these free classes.  Students will receive all their Sacraments at the Easter Vigil Mass.
 
* RCIA class will start September 7, 2021.  Classes meet on Tuesdays  from 6:00 pm to 7:15pm.
