CLASSES FOR ADULTS

"The moment has come to commit all of the Church's energies to a new evangelization and to the mission ad gentes. No believer in Christ, no institution of the Church can avoid this supreme duty: to proclaim Christ to all peoples." John Paul II

R.C.I.A. (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults)

"If a man is truly and vitally converted, he has the peace of surrender
without the shame of treason." G. K. Chesterton

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is the process by which people become members of the Catholic Church. The process is concerned with the total formation of the person into believing, praying, living and serving with the Church community. The RCIA follows a process of journeying through four periods of formation. Each period is a span of time devoted to formation of doctrine, liturgy, apostolic work and Christian living. The gradual development culminates in the celebration of the initiation sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist at the Easter Vigil. 

RCIA classes meet every Monday 7:30-9:00pm in the John Paul II Building (on the left side of the church)
