R.C.I.A.


Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
The process by which adults become Catholic

This is a program of instruction for non Catholics who are interested in joining the Catholic faith. They receive instruction, guidance, and support from parish members. They attend instructional meetings once a week to learn and prepare for reception into the Catholic Faith on the Easter Vigil.

Maybe you have been looking for enrichment in your life in all the wrong places.

Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (R.C.I.A.) is the place for you. R.C.I.A. is a spiritual journey in faith to discover what it means to follow Jesus as a Catholic Christian and the joy and freedom that can result from journeying with Christ. Every year adults are welcomed into the Catholic Community through R.C.I.A.. It is a learning and loving process in which conversion of the heart brings you to Jesus Christ who is our Lord and Savior. Come to me, all you who are weary and find life burdensome, and I will refresh you. Take My yoke upon your shoulders and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble of heart. Your souls will find rest, for My yoke is easy and My burden light. Matthew 11:28-30

Inquiry period begins in September.
