For Adults

What is RCIA?

RCIA is a process of conversion and spiritual formation for individuals who are interested in living the Christian life in the Catholic tradition. It is a time of prayer, study, reflection, faith sharing, ongoing discernment and participation in the life of the parish.
It is designed for non-Catholics and allows seekers to examine the Catholic Faith more closely. Each fall we have sessions exploring Catholic teachings and discovering what it means to be a Catholic Christian. Discussions about our worship, traditions, structure and beliefs are included. Some come to this class to gain more understanding of the Catholic religion. Others come intending to become a member. It is important that people feel free to attend whether they decide to become Catholic or not.

RCIA is for three groups of people

• Those who have never been baptized in any faith,
• People who were baptized in another Christian faith, and
• Baptized Catholics who have never received the Sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist.

When is RCIA?

RCIA will begin at the end of September.
 We encourage you to begin our process in the fall to allow sufficient time to prepare before the Easter Vigil in the spring.

For adults there are a variety of programs to enhance and deepen your spiritual life and understanding of the Church. Our Sacred Heart Parish small faith-sharing groups offer excellent opportunites for prayer, Scripture study, and getting to know other parishioners.

Women's Faith Sharing: SHARE a Revitalizing Experience - not meeting at this time.

SHARE is a weekly, midday, informal faith-sharing women's group. We explore, learn, and grow spiritually together. No one is an 'expert;' we are supporting each other in our journey to come closer to God.

We meet Wednesdays, 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm, in the St. Bernard Room during the school year. We are reading Matthew 10-20, On the Road with Jesus, by Kevin Perotta. Bring your lunch (if you wish) and join us. Childcare is provided (by arrangement). Scholarships are available for books.

More groups will be formed as interest arises.
