Do you Want to be baptized? Or learn about Catholcism and what the Catholic Faith teaches? The Rite of Christian Initiation of adults (R.C.I.A.) is an educational program for adults meant to prepare them to participate fully in the Catholic faith, especially in the life of sacraments.
Our program runs every year, September through Easter, then continues up to Pentecost when the candidates receive the sacrament of confirmation .
You are ecouraged to ask questions and share your experiences. There is a church tour explaining everything you want to know about the Catholic Church as a place of worship, and many other things found in the church.
Who can join the RCIA group?
a). Adults who want to be baptized,
b). Adults who are already baptized, wishing to receive the Saraments,
c). Adults who are baptized from a non- Catholic Church wishing to
become Catholic.
