The Rite of Christian Initiation | Become Catholic

RCIA for adults is typically a year long process that  involves three distinct stages each marked by a time for discernment and a firmer committment to continuing along the journey. Classes meet on Monday Nights from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the Parish Center and are designed to be discussion oriented led by trained catechists. These classes are intended for adults 18 years and older who are seeking Baptism or Baptized adults seeking First Communion or full intitation into the Catholic Church.
