MARK YOUR CALENDAR: The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults will begin the Inquiry Period
on December 11th, 2018. Meeting will be held in the St James Room from 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm.
RCIA - Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults - Are you not baptized and thinking you would like to be a baptized Catholic? Are you thinking of becoming a Catholic? Do you know someone interested in the Catholic faith? Or have you been away from the Catholic faith and would like to inquire on returning to the faith? RCIA “The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults” is the process of educational formation and spiritual formation by which adults become full members in full communion with the Roman Catholic Church. We invite all those who are not baptized, those who are baptized in other faiths, and those baptized in the Catholic faith that would like to increase their knowledge in Catholicism.
