RCIA Sessions begin in September and are generally held from 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm in the Parish Hall. At this time, we are planning on having in-person meetings..
If you are interested in the Catholic faith, we invite you to participate in the process of becoming Catholic. This process is called the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults or RCIA. Through the RCIA process, the baptized and un-baptized alike can question and learn what "being Catholic is all about" in a relaxed and unpressured environment. If you would like more information, check our FAQ.
The RCIA is a series of classes and gathering to prepare adults for the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Eucharist, and into full communion with the Catholic Church. It is the principal means used to introduce the Catholic Faith to those who are interested in becoming Catholics. The RCIA program is a discernment process and does not require a commitment to become Catholic. The culmination of this preparation occurs at the Easter Vigil Celebration, which is held on the Saturday evening before Easter Sunday. At this vigil, those who have been preparing to receive the Sacraments of Initiation are received into full communion with the Church.
The culmination of this preparation occurs at the Easter Vigil Celebration, the Saturday evening before Easter Sunday, when those who have been preparing to receive the Sacraments of Initation, and are received into full communion with the Church.
The RCIA is open to any adult, including those who have no knowledge or experience with any religion. Younger people (under 18 years of age) are offered separate programs by St. Jude.
We are here to welcome you, introduce you to the team, share our faith, and help you begin your faith journey.
