What is the RCIA?

R.C.I.A. (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) is a process by which individuals, no matter their background, can embark in becoming one with the community of faith established by Christ himself when he said to Simon Peter, “Thou art Peter, and upon this rock, I will build my church.”

 This is a process that prepares adults for the Sacraments of Initiation or, Baptism-Confirmation and Eucharist (Holy Communion).   The individual would fall under one of the following three categories:

  1.  Those who have never been        baptized and are seeking a home        in the Catholic church.

 2.  Those who may have been baptized in other faiths and now wish to join the Catholic faith community. 

3.  Those who are baptized Catholics but for whatever reason or circumstance have not celebrated the other sacraments of initiation namely, Confirmation and/or Eucharist.

 How long does it take?

 In the same way one cannot dictate how long it takes to fall in love when embarking in a relationship, nor do we, limit the amount of time a soul may need in the process.

The Church makes clear that what is important, is not meeting a schedule but instead ensuring adequate preparation.  Some may require more, some less, depending on their spiritual readiness.

 When will it start?  

   Any soul called, will be welcomed with open arms.

The next introduction to the process will begin in August, 2008 (exact date to be announced)

We will have registration tables set up after each mass for a couple of weeks the latter part of June.   

You can also register online by   simply emailing us via this website. Please provide Name, Address, phone number and email. And in “subject” type in: registering for RCIA

But all are asked to contact the church when the Holy Spirit moves you to do so!

We will meet with you and walk in faith with you one on one, until the formal process begins.
