Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults

Are you interested in becoming a Catholic?

If you are open to seeing what God is offering, you may be surprised with what you find in the Catholic faith.

I would like to explore parish life
Our Parish offers a variety of activities you may be involved in and not be Catholic. Things such as the Parish Picnic, the Lenten Fish Fry, the various Bible Studies we offer, etc. all engage your mind and bring you into the experience of our Catholic faith and life.

I would like to learn more about becoming Catholic
The formation of adults and process by which they are initiated into the Church is known as the "Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults," or the "RCIA." Please call the parish office to learn more about RCIA.

I would like to learn more about the sacraments
The purpose of the sacraments is to make people holy, to build up the Body of Christ and to give worship to God. Worship is integral to our lives as Christians. When we engage in the prayer of the Church, we are formed as the Body of Christ.. Please call the parish office to learn more about the sacraments.

I would like to learn more about the Catholic faith
If you are open to seeing what God is offering, you may be surprised with what you find in the Catholic faith. Many people who take time to learn about the teachings of the Church soon discover that they really don’t have the objections they thought they had. Schedule a meeting with one of our Priests or Deacon(s) to learn more.

 

It’s nearing that time of the year again when we begin to process of Inquiry for any among us who may have an interest in becoming Catholic or an interest in completing sacramental initiation that may have begun with Baptism as a child but may have never been pursued through to completion through Conϐirmation and Eucharist. The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) will host its Period of Inquiry beginning on September 20th and continue on September 27th and October 4th. Be assured that all gatherings for RCIA will adhere to all COVID related protocols for masking, social distancing, etc. It is not too soon to begin thinking about anyone you know who may be interested in exploring the Catholic faith. If you, your spouse, or another family member of yours is not Catholic and is interested in inquiring about the Catholic faith or if you have a friend or neighbor with such an interest or if you or someone you know are have a desire to complete your Christian initiation begun in Baptism, please keep watch for the information that will be provided in the bulletin in coming weeks and make sure you get the information to anyone who may be interested! We look forward to another rich and grace-ϐilled opportunity to share our faith with those who are inquiring and to welcome new members into our Communion of Faith next Easter!
