HSCC Events
Interest in the Roman Catholic Church is at a peak. Would you like to learn more about the Catholic faith and what Catholics profess to believe? Perhaps your spouse or fiancé would like to become Catholic? Maybe you were raised Catholic, but never received the sacrament of Confirmation? Or maybe you’ve drifted away from the Church and want to renew your connection to Catholicism by entering into full communion with the Church.
R.C.I.A. aims to address all the above situations. The class can be taken for information only and there is never any pressure to be confirmed, although participants are fully prepared for Baptism, Penance, Eucharist, and/or Confirmation if desired. We are now accepting registrations for the next session of R.C.I.A. which begins in January; interviews will take place throughout the next several weeks. The class is tentatively scheduled to begin on January 13, with Confirmation and reception into full communion with the Roman Catholic Church to occur at the Easter Vigil on Saturday evening, April 20. The last day of class will be May 5. The class will meet on Sunday evenings from 6:45 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.; Super Bowl Sunday and St. Patrick’s Day excluded. Due to our accelerated curriculum, regular attendance is crucial, so participants need to commit to full participation in the course. A nominal fee of $35 is required to register for the course; this fee defrays the cost of books and other materials.
Prospective R.C.I.A. participants and sponsors are strongly encouraged to begin gathering sacramental documents, including—if applicable—certificates of Baptism and Marriage. Personal interviews with participants are being held now. We look forward to seeing you in R.C.I.A. as you deepen your inquiry and journey into the Catholic faith. For more information, or to enroll, please contact our Director of RCIA, Dr. David King. Please note that the registration deadline is Sunday, December 30th.
