RCIA, which stands for Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, is a process through which men and women enter the Catholic Church. It includes several stages marked by study, prayer and rites at Mass. Participants in the RCIA are known as catechumens. They undergo a process of conversion as they study the Gospel, profess faith in Jesus and the Catholic Church, and receive the sacraments of baptism, confirmation and Holy Eucharist. The RCIA process follows the ancient practice of the Church and was restored by the Second Vatican Council as the normal way adults prepare for baptism. Please contact the parish office or the parish priest.
"I thoroughly enjoyed the whole RCIA experience. It was informative and fun-I looked forward to our classes. It was great meeting with other candidates who shared the desire to learn Catholicism." - Kim
