Not Fully Initiated? Are you a baptized Catholic age 16 or older, but have not celebrated the Sacrament of 1st Holy Communion or Confirmation? Would you like to learn what’s involved in order for you to celebrate these Sacraments?
Christian initiation is accomplished by the reception of the three sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist. It is designed for adults who after hearing the mystery of Christ proclaimed, consciously and freely seek the living God and enter the way of faith and conversion as the Holy Spirit opens their hearts.
There are several steps to the initiation process:
First period is inquiry and ends with the celebration of the Rite of Acceptance into the Order of the Catechumenate.
Second period begins with instruction in the Catholic faith and ends with the Rite of Election.
Third period is a time for enlightenment and purification and the celebration of the sacraments of initiation.
Fourth period extends through the whole of Easter season and is a time of deepening the Christian experience and for spiritual growth.
Weekly RCIA sessions are held from late August through Easter on Tuesday evenings from 7:00 - 9:00. Everyone is welcome to participate - adults wishing to become members of our faith as well as those who are interested in learning more about the Catholic faith.
