R.C.I.A.

Coordinators: Mary & Bill Phillips 

Schedule: Tuesday, 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. in rooms 6 & 7. Baby-sitting provided in Room 3.

The RCIA is a process for adults who wish to begin their journey or complete their journey towards full membership in the Roman Catholic Church. Some have never been baptized; others have been baptized in another faith tradition and now want to explore the Roman Catholic Church. Still others have been baptized Catholic but have not received Holy Eucharist or Confirmation.

The RCIA process is a spiritual journey of conversion, changing the heart and transforming the spirit. Those in the process are prepared for sacramental initiation (reception of Baptism and/or Confirmation and Holy Eucharist) at the Easter Vigil;

During the weekly meetings members of the parish RCIA team, other parishioners, and guest speakers cover a variety of topics including the Bible and its application to our daily lives; the life, person, and teaching of Jesus; History of Christianity; structure of the Church; the sacraments; morality and the Christian life. Besides learning about the faith participants reflect on their lives and the presence of God in them, and come to know Christ more deeply.
