RCIA

/files/images/RCIArcia_font1.JPG The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is for un-baptized adults who seek initiation into the Catholic Church through Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation. RCIA is also for adults who are baptized, whether Catholic or not, and seek full initiation in the Catholic Church through Eucharist, Reconciliation, and Confirmation.


While the RCIA process is primarily for these groups, all parishioners and guests who want to update their faith are welcome to attend our weekly meetings on Tuesday in the parish hall at 7:00PM. For more information, see the parish bulletin or the parish general calendar.

Breaking Open the Word

Each Sunday, those who are candidates and catechumens in the RCIA are dismissed from Mass after the homily. They gather with an RCIA team member to study the Word of God that we heard during Mass. Candidates and catechumens discuss how the Word of God applies to their daily lives.
