Adult Faith Formation

Rites of Christian Initiation of Adults (R.C.I.A.)

Adults seeking initiation into the Church participate in the R.C.I.A. process, beginning with a period of inquiry and leading to the celebration of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist. Adults already baptized in other Christian denominations also participate in the R.C.I.A. process. The formal process begins prior to Lent, culminating at the Easter Vigil.

Contact Deacon Ernie Kociemba, R.C.I.A. Coordinator, for more information.
