Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)
2021-22 Semester Schedule & Topics
TBA
DAY: Sunday
TIME: 12-1:30PM (SEPTEMBER 16, 2018-APRIL 2019)
LOCATION: upstairs Parish Center
The Catholic Church proclaims and lives the good news of our salvation in Jesus Christ. Jesus says, “I came that they might have life, and have it abundantly.” (John 10:10). It is our hope and mission that all may have life abundantly. The Catholic Church is always grateful to share its faith and understanding of God. The process of examining and entering into the Catholic Church is called the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA). A person gradually enters into the prayer, worship, scripture, teachings, and moral spirit of the community.
Members of St. Mary’s faith community are part of an RCIA team that shares in presenting input, leading discussions, and planning prayer services. There are many opportunities to ask questions, share your own faith, dialogue in small groups, and join in prayer. Each meeting attempts to assist the group to learn what it means to be a Catholic.
If an adult wishes to be Confirmed in the Church please contact Courtney Palcic to learn how to become a part of the RCIA process.
For more information contact Courtney Palcic cpalcic@stmox.org or call 513-523-2153.
