Becoming a catholic

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
RCIA – the process by which Adults become Catholic.

The RCIA program for those interested in becoming Catholics or completing their Sacraments of Initiation has begun.  The first stage of RCIA is the period of Inquiry.  This is the time for interested persons to ask questions about the Catholic faith.  You don’t want to miss this opportunity.  Join us Wednesday night at 8 p.m. in the Gathering Space to find out more about RCIA

Can you answer "Yes" to any of these questions?

  • Are you interested in learning more about the Catholic Church?
  • Are you unbaptized but recognize a need for spirituality in your life?
  • Were you baptized Catholic or baptized into another denomination but never received any formal religious education?
  • Are you married to a Catholic and attend Mass, but just don’t know what the next step is to become one of the Catholic faithful?

RCIA is the place for you. Every year adults are welcomed into the Catholic Community through RCIA. It is a learning and loving process in which conversion of the heart brings you to Jesus Christ who is our Lord and Savior.

Classes meet on Wednesday nights, beginning in September.
