Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults
RCIA is the process for adults to become full, active members of the Catholic Church. In our program, you connect with a small group, with members just like yourself, who desire to know more about the Catholic faith. Our goal is to not only help adults grow in their relationship with God, but also help them get acquainted with the faith community and become familiar with Catholic teachings and practices. Our formation program begins in September and culminates at the Easter Vigil. This journey will provide participation in the Rites of Entrance throughout the formation period. “Come and See” John 1:39

We congratulate the Elect of our parish, who were admitted into Election and will be received into the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil. Please continue to pray for them as they begin the final stage of their preparation, and pray for their sponsors, godparents, and RCIA team as they accompany the elect.
