RCIA PROGRAM

FOR BELIEVERS AND WOULD-BE BELIEVERS

 

The RCIA process is designed to help persons in one or more of the following groups:

  • Catholics who want to deepen their understanding of their Faith.
  • Adult Catholics preparing for 1st Communion and Confirmation.
  • Returning Catholics.
  • Non-Catholics who want to learn more about Catholic Christianity.
  • Non-Catholics who want to become a member of the Catholic Church.

 

RCIA is the process of learning and living the message of Jesus as revealed in the Scriptures and in Catholic tradition. The program explores the teachings, practices, and history of the Catholic Church – so that each person involved in the process comes to enjoy a fuller, richer understanding of God and his/her relationship to God and community.  For enrollment or for more information, please contact Fr. Ted at 775-1994.
