Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)
The RCIA provides a program of instruction, prayer, and ritual celebrations for persons interested in the Catholic Church. During a year-long process, the RCIA allows time for study and personal conversion. This program is open to all persons interested in the Catholic Church; parishioner-sponsors for candidates are needed each year. Catholics renewing their faith are also welcome. Classes meet weekly, September through June.
Congratulations and a heartfelt welcome to all who were received into the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil!
