Christian Initiation
The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults is an opportunity for adults interested in learning more about the Catholic Church. It is a process that encourages adults to discern whether the Roman Catholic faith is one to which God is calling them.
The RCIA process is aimed at faith formation for those who wish to prepare for Baptism and is adapted for those already baptized who are now interested in membership with the Catholic Church. For baptized Roman Catholics who have not completed their initiation, these gatherings can prepare them for the sacraments of Reconciliation, Confirmation and Eucharist.
During weekly Thursday night meetings participants are assisted by team members, parish sponsors and the RCIA coordinator to prepare for the various stages within the conversion process. Those participants who are ready, will receive the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist during the Easter Vigil, the highest feast of the Church year.
Anyone who would like to know more about the RCIA process are invited to contact Beverly O’Grady, Parish Catechist, to set up a personal interview.
