  • What is RCIA?

    Image result for catholic neophyte

    The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the process whereby adults enter the Catholic Church. RCIA classes are held weekly and over the course of several months. Those who attend the RCIA classes are educated on what the Catholic Church believes and teaches and are given the opportunity to ask questions about those beliefs. 
    Along with weekly Faith Formation Classes, there are also weekly dismissals at one of the Weekend Masses. At the end of the Liturgy of the Word (after the Homily) RCIA participants are dismissed with a leader to dive deeper into the Scripture passages.

     

    WHERE TO START

    Maybe you are a member of another faith or do not yet know God. Start by scheduling a meeting with Fr. Glasgow by calling the office at 880-4689. 

    Attend an
    "Inquiry Session". This is an opportunity for small group discussion for those who would like to learn more about our faith and consider receiving the graces of a sacramental life in the Catholic Church. These are informal gatherings and attending doesn't obligate you in any way for anything; it's solely for your information and benefit. You are invited to come alone or bring your spouse or a friend -- all are welcome and we hope you will join us!

     

    Just because you start RCIA doesn't mean you are committed to finish. If you are merely curious about what Catholicism is, please feel free to come. All are welcome.

  • What is Catechesis?

    Catechesis is a responsibility of the entire Christian community. This should not be the work of catechists and priests alone, but of the whole community of the faithful. The Christian community follows the development of catechetical processes, for children, young people and adults, as a duty that involves and binds it directly. (GDC 220) A fully Christian community can exist only when a systematic catechesis of all its members takes place and when an effective and well developed catechesis of adults is regarded as the central task of the catechetical enterprise.” (ACCC, no. 25).

 "I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly." John 10:10
