The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) is the process through which adults and children ages 8 and older become Catholic. RCIA includes the preparation for the 3 Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Holy Communion, and Confirmation.

How does our parish attract inquirers each year who consider becoming Catholic?
The short answer is YOU! It is the fruit of the Holy Spirit as parish members open their hearts to welcome others. Members of a welcoming and evangelizing community take seriously their call to share the message of Jesus. It happens in parish families, in the workplace, in gatherings with friends and neighbors, and in daily contacts. Give thanks to God as He continuously strengthens each of us who seek to do His will in offering a gentle, humble, and clear welcome to the Catholic Faith. Will you step out in faith, and ask a friend or neighbor if they have ever thought about becoming Catholic? Let them know we have a way for them to journey towards full reception into the church. If you know of someone who might be questioning, please have them call Bonnie Barlow at 893-8661 ext. 103  or email Bonnie at [email protected] for more information.
