Christian Formation

ARE YOU SOMEONE OR DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO…

Has expressed an interest in becoming Catholic?

Has a child over the age of seven who has not been baptized?

Was baptized Catholic as a child, but has not celebrated the Sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist?

The Church’s process for this is called the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults or RCIA. "The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the process by which people become members of the Roman Catholic Church. The process is concerned with the total formation of the person into believing with the Church community (doctrinal formation),

living with the Church community (practical formation),
praying with the Church community (liturgical formation),
and serving with the Church community (apostolic formation).

This gradual development culminates in the celebration of the initiation sacraments of baptism, confirmation, and the Eucharist at Easter time".
(Frank C. Sokol, author of "What is Catholic?")

We offer an opportunity to come together in a small group to learn more about our faith. Sessions focus on the teachings and experience of Church and prepare individuals to celebrate the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist during the Easter season. There are separate sessions for children or youth. You are welcome to participate in the process with your questions, your insights and your faith story in a warm accepting setting.

Come to the inquiry meeting after the 10:00 a.m. Mass

At the meeting, we will provide an overview on the RCIA process.

The RCIA sessions will officially start on Sundays (around 11:05 a.m.) in the Faith Formation Center.
