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 began Wednesday, September 18 at 6:30 pm in the Holy Family room and continues through Easter.
 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, 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.
