What do you do in an RCIA program?
The RCIA process introduces you to the beliefs and practices of the Roman Catholic Church. It helps you explore what it means to be a Christian. It prepares you to enter fully into our community of faith through the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. The program enables interested persons into the teaching and life of the Church and our parish.
