Have you thought about joining the Catholic Church? Then RCIA (Rite of Catholic Initiation for Adults) is for you! The RCIA process introduces you to the beliefs and practices of the Roman Catholic Church. It helps you explore what it means to be a Christian. It prepares you to enter fully into our community of faith through the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. Becoming Catholic is more than just learning about Scripture and rituals, it is discovering how to be a disciple of the Lord.
Everyone is welcome -- those who are new to the faith, the unbaptized or baptized, those not yet confirmed in the Church and also those who are simply searching for God or want to know more about your Catholic faith. Classes started in September, but please join us anytime.
