Rite of Christian
Initiation of Adults (RCIA): A process of instruction, prayer, and
fellowship which welcomes adults into full participation in the
sacramental life of the Catholic Church
RCIA was established to prepare those who
have not been baptized, or those who have been baptized in other Christian
traditions, for full reception into the Catholic Church. It is also
intended for adults who have been baptized Catholic but have not received
the initiation sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist. The program has a
two-fold purpose. The first is to learn how the Catholic Church combines
Sacred Scripture, Church teachings, and Church traditions to form a rich
environment that challenges each of us into a personal encounter with
Jesus Christ. Secondly, each person is prepared for the reception of the
Sacraments of Christian initiation: Baptism (if needed), Confirmation, and
Eucharist.
RCIA classes meet Wednesdays at 7:00 pm
in Andre Hall.

Adult Education programs, please call the Church Office at 547-3735
