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.

 
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?

The RCIA program runs from September through Easter. Sessions are scheduled to begin on Wednesday, September 27, 6:30 p.m. in the Holy Family Room. We encourage you to begin our process in the fall to allow sufficient time to prepare before the Easter Vigil in the spring.

Women's Faith Sharing: SHARE a Revitalizing Experience

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, starting September 13, 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm, in the St. Bernard room. This fall we will have an overview of the bible, book by book, using the New Collegeville Bible Commentary, Liturgical Press - it has an Imprimatur. Bring your lunch and join us. Childcare is provided (by arrangement).
