Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)
Under the direction of the Pastor, the RCIA Team is responsible for leading those adults seeking to become Catholics through a process of discernment and formation leading to their receiving of Sacraments of Initiation at the Easter Vigil.
On an ad hoc basis, the Adult Faith Formation Team provides group information and discussion sessions to further the knowledge and understanding of our Catholic Faith. To date this has included Alpha, Catholicism 201, Discovery and most recently Symbolon.
Primary objectives
The RCIA program’s objective is to build a strong foundation in the catechumens so that they may joyfully enter the Church and enhance their personal relationship with Christ.
The objective of Adult Faith Formation is to provide an opportunity for those parishioners seeking a better understanding of their faith to do so.
Our overarching goal is for all parishioners to grow closer to Christ and the Church.
Who can be involved in this ministry?
All parishioners with a desire to deepen their understanding of the Catholic faith.
All parishioners who seek to better respond to their call to evangelize.
