How Do I learn more about the Catholic Faith?
How Do I Become Catholic?

For adults, the way to join the Catholic Church is a process called RCIA. RCIA stands for the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. RCIA is intended for just about anyone and everyone: baptized or not; seekers and doubters; people who don't even want be become Catholic but just want to understand more about the faith of their Catholic spouse or friend; even Catholics who have fallen away and would like to return. In short, RCIA is for you!

No matter where you are in your journey of faith, there is a place for you here with us. Don't be afraid to take that first step. Come, see for yourself what we are all about!
RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) is the process where adults explore the Catholic Faith in a non-judgmental setting. There is no pressure to join and classes are open to anybody out of high school and over the age of 18. Breakfast snacks are provided, as well as Childcare for children ages 18 months and up!
RCIA classes are held Sunday mornings at 9am in the Parish Center Adult Education Rooms (#137-135)
