The RCIA is the process by which adults and children who have reached the age of reason (about 2nd grade) become members of the Roman Catholic Church. It is a process of inquiry, instruction, conversion, formation, initiation, and mission. People who join the Catholic Church through RCIA may be Catholics who have been baptized but have not received the Sacraments of the Eucharist and/or Confirmation; Christians who have been baptized in another denomination; and people who have never been baptized.
The parish community welcomes the newcomers, celebrates and prays with them on their journey, and witnesses their initiation into the Church at the Easter Vigil. Parishioners’ involvement in the RCIA process speaks to the call to ongoing conversion that characterizes our Catholic Christian community. Classes are open to all, both Catholics and non-Catholics, who want to learn more about the Catholic faith.
