RCIA for both adults and youths

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults offers to both non-Catholics and Catholics the opportunity to learn more about our Faith and the Church, and to experience some formation in discipleship.  Christian Initiation is an ancient heritage which helps to form the entire Christian community as a community witnessing to Christ throughout the liturgical year.
 
Meetings are held once a week to instruct in the ways of the Faith and to learn more about the Church.  At the Easter Vigil we follow the time honored practice of initiating new members into the Faith with the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist. 

Those who were previously Baptized, but who are not Catholic, make a Profession of Faith and then receive  and partake in the rest of the Sacraments of Initiation.  These forms have more information:

 Rite of Christian Initiatiation for Youths

Because of the great differences in age which comprise the groups going through the Initiation Rites, we also offer groups for children and teens.  This program is referred to as RCIC/T, or Rite of Christian Initatiation for Children / Teens.   Deacon Ed Kelley works with the children who are being received into the Church, and a team works with the teens who are preparing for initiation.  Please see the forms below or call the office for more information.
