The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)

There is a process in the Catholic Church known as the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) for persons who are not Catholic and would like to become Catholic. It is also for those who are already baptized Catholic but have not received First Eucharist and/or Confirmation. RCIA is not a class as much as a process. Through studying and sharing the Sunday scriptures, and through studying core Church teachings and their applications to our lives, the RCIA candidates are invited to grow more deeply in their faith and discern if being received into the full communion of the Catholic Church is what they desire. Sessions for RCIA take place weekly and begin in late October. This process is also available for bringing children into the Catholic faith. For more information, please contact Director of Faith Formation, Paul Krenzelok. You may also contact our Pastor, Fr. Leo Schneider, 612-724-5465.
