The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is a program that assists adults into full acceptance into the Catholic Church. A team of experienced lay catechists facilitates this process of growth in the individual. People who might be interested in this program are those who have recognized a call from God for greater union with Him and desire to fulfill this call. RCIA program is structured to provide for a variety of individual backgrounds:
The program is adapted to the particular needs of each person. Usually, for the unbaptized, the process takes one calendar year. Special considerations sometimes affect this time frame. Inquiry sessions are ongoing for people who are curious about the Catholic faith and want to discover more about their life’s journey, the call to God, and the coming to faith.
Our Sessions Begin September 1, 2021, @ 7:00 pm at St Mary's in the Faith Formation office.
