R.C.I.A.  - Christian Initiation of Adults

 
 


The RCIA is the process by which an unbaptized person, a person baptized in another Christian faith, or a baptized Catholic needing the Sacraments of Confirmation and Holy Eucharist, become fully initiated members of the Roman Catholic Church.

Anyone interested in this process needs to be able to attend weekly session as well as take part in special Rites as they move from one stage to the next. The Rites take place at a Sunday Liturgy during the seasons of Advent and Lent, for the most part. This is usually a one year process. For more information, please call the Faith Formation Director at 541-4447.

If you wish to become a member of the “RCIA Team,” serving as a Sponsor, Facilitator or Welcomer, it is necessary to be a practicing Catholic, as well as a committed person who is willing and able to walk on a JOURNEY of FAITH alongside a candidate who needs support, guidance and witnessing of what living and practicing the Catholic Church faith is about.
