Becoming CatholicWe welcome all who are interested in joining us at St. Paul's. For those that are not Catholic, we provide RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) classes during the school year.
Learning More about the Catholic Faith RCIA is the process by which people become full members of the Roman Catholic Church. The RCIA classes are for those interested in becoming Catholic and/or simply learning more about the Catholic faith. RCIA Classes Begin in September RCIA classes meet weekly from September to the end of April. All interested in the Catholic faith are invited to attend. For those who persevere, RCIA culminates with full reception into the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil. Classes cover the foundations of the Catholic faith and help prepare students for full Sacramental initiation into the Church. Additionally, participants are invited to explore their own call to the life of a disciple of Jesus Christ. Ministry to the Baptized Though we encourage everyone to attend RCIA classes, some people are baptized as Christians and have a significant level of involvement in the Church, as well as religious instruction and spiritual formation. Respectful of individual needs, please email Fr. Joseph to discuss options. How Do I Register? An entrance interview and registration is requested prior to formal enrollment in RCIA. Click here for the RCIA Inquiry Form. Please email Fr. Joseph, if you have any questions. Additional information about RCIA is available from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. |
