Become Catholic

Are you considering becoming Catholic or know someone who is?
Are you an adult needing Baptism, Communion or Confirmation? 

If yes to any of these, we are eager to meet you, welcome you, and share the Catholic faith and its rich and beautiful history and tradition. We want to help you explore your questions about God and what He wants for your life.

We are beginning a new (adult) group in January 2022. 

This is for adults who are:

• unbaptized
• baptized Catholics needing Holy Communion and/or Confirmation
• baptized Christians of other denominations
• Catholics wanting to refresh their understanding of the Catholic Faith

What is the Process?

R.C.I.A - Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults 

RCIA is a process, not a program or class.  This means that throughout the process there will be prayer, discernment and learning.  Through RCIA, persons encounter Jesus by pondering and studying scripture and immersing themselves in the Tradition of the Catholic Christian community. Together with the RCIA team, your sponsor/godparent, and the Holy Spirit, you will have opportunities to discern where God is calling you along the way. Thus, coming to faith is not merely an academic exercise of attending classes.  It is first and foremost a development of a personal relationship with God in Jesus Christ.  The Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist) incorporate us into Christ's body (The Church)  and form us into God’s people.

RCIA Team

Welcoming new people and those who have been away from the Church back home is one of the most rewarding and exciting opportunities as a Catholic.  If you believe that God may be calling you to this ministry, whether as a catechist, sponsor or coordinator, please submit the form on our RCIA team page.  We are in need of team members to serve RCIA catechumens and candidates of all ages: children, teens and adults.
