About This Ministry

The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults is an ongoing four-step process designed to welcome new members into the Catholic faith and to assist adult baptized Catholics to complete the Sacraments of Eucharist and Confirmation. Generally, the RCIA process for full membership into the Church takes about a year.

Who Can Serve

All registered members of the parish who have completed the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation) are invited to serve in this ministry.

Responsibilities

Catechists instruct in the faith and share their faith. Hospitality assistants set up coffee, tea and refreshments. Sponsors walk with a person in their faith journey, witnessing to the Catholic faith in everyday life.

Schedule

Sessions are conducted weekly, beginning in September. RCIA team training is provided by the Diocese.
