RCIA
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. This is an open-ended process and not defined by a specific length of time.
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.
Meetings
Dates, times and locations of general meetings and training sessions for this ministry will be announced.
Schedule
Sessions are conducted weekly, beginning in September. RCIA team training is provided by the Diocese.
