The Catholic Church uses the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) to welcome and instruct those who are interested in learning more about the Catholic faith. This includes non-Catholics considering the Catholic faith, adult Catholics who have received only Baptism (need Eucharist and Confirmation), or those Catholics who have been away from the faith for some time and are seeking to return.
RCIA meets Monday nights and Tuesday nights from 7 to 9 pm. Participants may attend whichever night is most convenient. Classes start the first Monday in August and continue until about 6 weeks after Easter of the following year, covering about 40 topics. Anyone interested in attending the meetings can contact the RCIA team through the Pastoral Office at 836-0601.
The schedule for the 2011-2012 year is as follows:
