Ever Thought About Becoming Catholic?

 The Church provides a process to guide those who are journeying to faith in the Catholic Church. That process is called the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (or the RCIA, for short).

The RCIA is in the process of beginning for this coming year.

• Perhaps someone you know was never baptized but has expressed an interest in being baptized.
• Perhaps someone you know has been raised in another Christian tradition and has been curious about the Catholic Church.
• Perhaps someone you know has never been to church but has expressed an interest in finding out more about what faith in God is all about.

The RCIA is intended for people just such as these—people we all know. The RCIA is for people of all ages—adults, youth, and children.

     If you know anyone (adult or child) who is interested in becoming Catholic, please offer them a personal invitation to explore the Catholic Church by inviting them to consider being a part of the RCIA.

    For those who are already fully-initiated members of the Church (baptized and confirmed), serving as a sponsor for the RCIA is a terrific way of learning more about our faith.

Please contact Jack Armstrong at 669-8341 for more information about beginning the RCIA or serving as an RCIA sponsor.
