The Rite of Christian Initiation
for Adults is a program for those seeking information about the
Catholic Church. It is also for baptized Catholics who may not have
received the other Sacraments of Initiation (First Communion and
Confirmation.) This program can also assist those who have been away
from the church for many years and wish to return.
The group meets every Thursday evening at
7:00 p.m. Meetings begin each year in the Fall and conclude the week
after Easter. Patricia Snow does an excellent job teaching the content
of our Catholic faith and of meeting people where they are on their
journey. She creates a welcoming atmosphere - gives very little
homework and gives no tests!
During the course of the year, there are a few times when special Rites
are held during Sunday Mass. This enables the RCIA candidate to feel
part of the church membership and, hopefully, enables the congregation
to reflect on the gift of faith that is theirs.
Full membership into the church occurs on Holy Saturday at the Easter
Vigil liturgy.
If you wish additional information or have
questions feel free to call Sister Betty Kirk at 610-459-0554. |
