    Returning to Your Faith (RCIA)
    The Church welcomes those who want to join themselves to Christ and the Roman Catholic Church through the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist (Communion). She also welcomes Christians from other Christian communities who, already baptized, wish to join and complete their sacraments of initiation in the Catholic Church.

    “If up until now you have kept Him at a distance, step forward. He will receive you with open arms.”
    Pope Francis
    • The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the process through which unbaptized persons (Catechumens) and baptized Christians (Candidates) can enter the Catholic Church. It is a spiritual journey, a path to the fullness of Truth, who is Jesus Christ, in full communion with the Church He established.
      Who attends RCIA?
      • Catechumens (unbaptized persons) and baptized Christians who wish to become Catholic, and/or are interested in learning more about the Catholic faith.
      • Baptized Catholics who have not received other Sacraments (Communion, Reconciliation, Confirmation), and/or have been away from the Catholic Church for an extended period of time.
      • Any non-Catholic or Catholic who simply wishes to learn more about the Catholic faith.

      How long is the process? What happens in RCIA?
      This process involves weekly meetings (classes) from September to April. Classes cover topics like prayer, sacraments, the commandments, scripture, and many other important teachings of the Catholic Church. Classes meet one Sunday per month after the 9:30 am Mass.  Participants are also encouraged to attend weekly Mass on Sunday with the community so that they can begin to grow and worship in the local community of believers. There is no cost for RCIA and all materials are provided.

      If you are interested and would like to register or have questions, please  contact the Parish Office. We are excited to walk with you on this journey!
