The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the process through which interested adults and older children are gradually introduced to the Roman Catholic faith and way of life. The RCIA is a communal process and involves a number of stages punctuated by liturgical rites to aid and assist the potential convert toward the final rite, usually at the Easter Vigil, at which time they will become full members of the Catholic Church. The entire process takes several months, (ideally a minimum of one complete liturgical year), but participants are generally invited to proceed at a pace which suits them individually.
Inquiry Sessions begin the first weekend in August and run for six weeks. Sessions are held Sunday mornings 10:45 – 11:45 a.m. in the conference room in the Parish Center. Contact persons: Paul & Sue Worth
