RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults)

We are happy to welcome new members into the Catholic Church through this initiation process. A permanent part of parish life, it is a formation process reinstated by Vatican II. Candidates for the sacrament of Christian Initiation will be formed in the practice of the faith by a study of the Bible, the teachings of the Church, the life of private and public prayer, the Sacraments and Christian morality.
 
Catechumens will be initiated into he Church at the Easter Vigil and celebrate with the community Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist. They will be assisted in their formation by sponsors who have been fully initiated and actively participate in the life of the church.  Parish staff and parishioners will share in the formation process every year. Please contact the parish offices 586-264-1230 for more information.
