Would you or someone you know like to learn more about the Catholic faith and what Catholics profess to believe? Perhaps you—or your spouse or fiancé —would like to become Catholic? Maybe your parents were Catholic, but you never received the Sacraments? 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 enrolling for the next session of R.C.I.A. which will begin on Sunday, August 6, and conclude on Sunday, December 3, with reception into full communion with the Roman Catholic Church at
the 5:00 p.m. Vigil Mass on Saturday, November 18. The class will meet on Sunday mornings at 10:00 a.m., with Mass either before or after at 8:30 a.m. or 11:30 a.m. A nominal fee of $35 is required to register for the course; this fee helps cover the cost of books and other materials. Because acceptance into the program requires pastoral approval, prospective R.C.I.A. participants should begin gathering now sacramental documents, including - if applicable - certificates of baptism and marriage. Remote and in-person interviews with participants are now being held; please contact Dr. David King to arrange registration. The deadline for registration is TODAY, Sunday July 23.
