“He who trusts in himself is lost. He who trusts in God can do all things.”
– St. Alphonsus Liguori
Are you interested in becoming Catholic?
The RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) is a process designed for individuals who are interested in becoming Catholic or learning more about the Catholic faith. It is open to people of all ages and backgrounds, whether you have never been baptized, were baptized in another Christian tradition, or are a baptized Catholic seeking to receive the sacraments of Eucharist and Confirmation. The RCIA process involves a series of classes, discussions, and prayer experiences that help participants grow in their understanding of the Catholic faith and develop a deeper relationship with God. If you are interested in joining the RCIA, please contact the church office to learn more.
What can RCIA do for you?
The R.C.I.A. will prepare you either to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation as a baptized adult or prepare you to enter into the Catholic Church by receiving all three Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Holy Eucharist and Confirmation).
R.C.I.A. helps fulfills our Lord’s command to His Church, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you.”
What are the Sacraments of Initiation and who can receive them?
There are three Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Holy Eucharist and Confirmation. An adult entering the Catholic Church receives the three sacraments at one time. Adult Catholics who were not confirmed in their youth may receive the Sacrament of Confirmation at any age. Ask us about your particular situation.
