Rite of Catholic Initiation of Adults
A program (RCIA) Rite of Initiation of Christian Adults, is established for those adults and youth interested in conversion to the Catholic faith tradition. "The Baptismal Catechumenate is both "a process of formation and a true school of the faith." It is a fruitful blend of instruction and formation in the faith; it progresses through gradual stages; it unfolds the Church's rites, symbols, and biblical and liturgical signs; and it incorporates the Catechumens into the Christian community of faith and worship." (NDC p 116 #35 D)

CLASSES
The RCIA classes are specifically for those not baptized and seeking the Sacraments of Initiation. Those who are baptized in another faith tradition or those Baptized Catholics needing to complete their initiation sacraments are also welcome to attend.

Do you know someone who might like to become Catholic? Are you interested in becoming Catholic? RCIA is an opportunity for those seeking full communion with the Catholic Church. Those baptized in other faith traditions and those unbaptized are welcome. Join us on Tuesdays at 7:00 p.m. in the Rez room of the Sheedy Center. Download the brochure to see the RCIA schedule. Youth not baptized or catechized who are seeking the Sacrament of Initiation meet on Wednesday at the same time as their grade level.
