Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults
RCIA is for people who are interested in joining the Catholic Church, whether unbaptized or baptized into another Christian denomination. It is also for baptized Catholics who wish to go deeper into their faith or return to full Communion with the Church.
RCIA is a combination of instruction, prayer, retreats, and rituals to provide an experience of God as well as information about what we believe.
Conversion takes time. Committing oneself to gospel values and perspectives on every level of life requires a change of heart that cannot be accomplished by an educational program alone. The initiation of adults aims at changing the heart and transforming the spirit, not just supplying a bank of knowledge, so the RCIA includes all aspects of parish life.
Classes begin October 19th, 2023 and are held Thursday evenings at 7:oo PM
and run through the Easter Season 2024. Class schedule is located below.
To register, please contact our RCIA Instructor, Judi Duffy at judiduffy@msn.com
