Becoming Catholic/RCIA

Deb Marino  694.2170

Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) is the process the Catholic Church uses to instruct those seeking to become part of the Catholic Church.  the instructional periods involve weekly classes, discussion groups, days of prayer, Mass attendance and biblical study.  To journey with those inquiring is a wonderful opportunity and a great blessing.  Members of the parish are encouraged to help out either as a member of the RCIA team, a catechist who helps “Break Open the Word” during Mass each week, a support person, a sponsor to one of the participants or as a designated prayer support person.  The RCIA is one way to answer God’s call to evangelization.  If you have family members, friends or co-workers who have indicated an interest in learning more about the Catholic faith, contact a team member.
