RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS (R.C.I.A.) TEAM

RCIA is the process for the initiation of adults, older teens into the Catholic Church.

The sessions typically begin in September with an inquiry phase for adults and older teens. Classes on the teachings of the Catholic Church follow. The adult sessions are held on Thursday nights at 7:00 p.m. in the Adult Education Room, on the second floor of the school.

Volunteer opportunities include: catechists as well as hospitality for the adult sessions and organizational assistance for special events.

Join us throughout the year for multiple opportunities to listen, learn, and discuss all aspects of the Revelation of God, Sacred Scripture, and Sacred Tradition. Regular events such as the Weekly Bible Study offer participants an opportunity to share and discuss their faith rooted in Holy Mother Church.
