Becoming Catholic - R.C.I.A.

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is a process where those interested in learning about the Catholic faith come together to learn about the Scriptures and the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, and at the same time, to discover where God is present in their lives.

 

The process is designed for those adults and children over the age of seven who are:

 

  • Unbaptized
  • Baptized in another tradition
  • Baptized Catholic, but with no further religious training or sacraments.

If you are just exploring becoming Catholic or interested in becoming Catholic, please contact the Faith Formation Director,  Tom Jandernoa, at the Parish office for more information and a schedule of classes.
