RCIA (or The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) is the journey towards the sacraments and full initiation into the Catholic Church for adults. It is for those who have not been baptized or have not received any sacraments, for those who were baptized in another Christian faith but who desire to become Catholic, as well as for those who were baptized Catholic but who have not yet received their First Communion and/or Confirmation.
The process will begin in January 2023 and includes classes to learn about our Catholic faith and what it means to live as a Catholic, as well as encounters with different ways of praying and opportunities to encounter or deepen your relationship with the Lord who has called you on this journey. As each individual journeys toward heaven, it is important to recognize that we do not walk alone; we walk as a body, as a family in the Church. For this reason, there will also be a service and ministry component to the program so that catechumens and participants can begin to experience parish life and what it means to be a part of the Catholic Church, which is the family of Jesus. The program will be offered in both English and Spanish and will meet on Sundays for an hour and a half.
