Adult Education
Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA)
These weekly classes meet Tuesday nights at 7:00pm in the social hall. This is a comprehensive study of the Catholic Faith. It is necessary that non-Catholics planning to join the Catholic Church participate in RCIA; but, it is also for Catholic adults who have missed out on one of the Sacraments of Initiation, that is, First Communion or Confirmation. It is also an excellent course for fully initiated Catholics who want to learn more about their Catholic Faith. Catholics are also invited to attend individual classes of their choice. Watch the Bulletin for weekly topics.
