Rite of Christian Initiation Meeting

All are welcome - unbaptized individuals, those who have been baptized into another faith, baptized Catholics who have never or incompletely been catechized, fully initiated Catholics who want to learn more about the faith, and Catholics who are on fire and want to help spread the faith!

The process by which adults enter the church, either through Baptism or, for already-baptized adults, a profession of faith, is through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA). We welcome seekers all year round, but begin weekly formation sessions in September. In general, new members enter the church each year at the Easter Vigil, the Saturday liturgy before Easter Sunday. Those who are unbaptized or who were baptized in another denomination participate in a series of public rites leading up to the Sacraments of Initiation being received. 

Those who have already been baptized Catholic but are seeking formation for either Eucharist or Confirmation are also encouraged to attend, but are not required to take part in the public rites of the RCIA. We also encourage fully initiated Catholics to attend to get to know more about the faith and those who are seeking to join it. Fully initiated Catholics in good standing are also asked to prayerfully consider serving as a sponsor or RCIA team member.
