RCIA:

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the normal way by which adults become fully initiated members of the Catholic Church. Rather than a series of classes, the RCIA process helps candidates form a relationship with Christ through His words and teachings.

After a period of inquiry, the candidates are admitted into the first of several stages of their faith journey. Each stage of the journey is marked by a meaningful ritual.

Please call the Business Office for times of classes.
