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 kids ages 18 months and up!
Our Sunday morning RCIA classes are well underway!
We meet at 9am in the Parish Center Adult Education Rooms (#137-135)
Please contact Mary Peacock for more information about how you can begin learning! Either fill out the information on this page (I will email or call you back), email me at mpeacock@stgerard.org or call the Parish Office at 517-323-2379.
Congratulations to our newest Catholics!

We all have our unique journeys. This particular group spent months in formation together and joined the Catholic Church on October 5th, 2019. What an exciting time for they and their families... and us, their church community!
