R.C.I.A. (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults)

R.C.I.A. stands for the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults and is based on the beautiful and ancient rites of the early Church.  This process is for adults who have not been baptized Catholic or who have not been baptized at all and who wish to become members of the Catholic faith and to discover what it means to be an adult Catholic Christian.  It is a process of prayer, celebration, becoming a member of a community, constant learning, and active ministry. 

R.C.I.A. is a pattern and model for the growth of the Church. A team of laypeople shares the Catholic faith in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.  If you are interested in becoming a member of the Catholic Church, or need to complete your initiation, we welcome your inquiry!
