RCIA

Those individuals age 16 and older who have not been Baptized or were Baptized in another Christian faith enter the Catholic church through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. This process has two distinct phases.

Pre-Catechumenate

The first phase includes 16 Inquiry sessions designed to provide the basic tenets of the Catholic Faith taught by Clergy and staff of the Parish.
Inquiry sessions meet on Thursdays in SEEC 22 from 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm.

Catechumenate

The Second phase for those who have completed the 16 session Inquiry period includes a deeper exploration of the Catholic faith culminating in Initiation at the Easter Vigil. Sessions meet on Sundays in SEEC 21 from 1:00 - 2:30 pm.

This ministry needs sponsors, hospitality ministers and catechists to assist in the process of bringing adult inquirers into the Catholic Church.
