The Catechumenate or Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) and children (RCIC) is the process through which people become full members of the Roman Catholic Church. The process respects the ongoing experience of conversion in each person’s life. The Rite of Christian Initiation program is designed to provide the time, support and knowledge needed to make a free and informed decision concerning membership in the Catholic Church. Specifically, those who have not been baptized or who have been baptized in another Christian denomination are welcome to participate. The process could also be helpful for baptized Catholics who have not been active members of the church for an extended period of time. 

Anyone interested in learning more about the Rite of Christian Initiation for either adults or children should contact Deacon John at the parish office.
