Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the process by which Adults become Catholic.

The RCIA process is for those interested in becoming Catholics or completing their Sacraments of Initiation. The first stage of RCIA is the period of Inquiry. This is the time for interested persons to ask questions about the Catholic faith.

Can you answer “Yes” to any of these questions?

• Are you interested in learning more about the Catholic Church?
• Are you unbaptized but recognize a need for spirituality in your life?
• Were you baptized Catholic or baptized into another denomination but never received any formal religious education?
• Are you married to a Catholic and attend Mass, but just don’t know what the next step is to become one of the Catholic faithful?

RCIA is the process for you. Every year adults are welcomed into the Catholic Community through RCIA. It is a learning and loving process in which conversion of the heart brings you to Jesus Christ who is our Lord and Savior.

• Classes meet on Wednesday nights, beginning in September.
• RCIA Schedule 2018-2019
