The RCIA Team guides adults as they journey to become full members of the Catholic Church. There are two roles that parishioners play: Catechist and Sponsor. The Diocese provides occasional retreats and other opportunities to learn for both roles. RCIA meets weekly every Tuesday at 7:30 pm in the parish annex, from mid-September until Pentecost Sunday. In addition, Catechists take turns leading a discussion of the current readings with candidates every Sunday from Advent until Passion Sunday.
RCIC
The RCIC is a part of the Religious Education Program for children who need the introductory sacraments and/or need to catch up to their appropriate religious education grade level.
