Is Christ calling you into the Catholic Church? What does the Catholic Church actually believe? What does it mean to be a disciple of Christ? If you are interested in exploring the answers to these questions, we'd like to help. The RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults, Youth & Children) is the process through which to explore the Catholic faith. The RCIA meets on most Tuesday nights. We have a year-round process and those seeking to explore the Catholic faith are welcome at any time. This process is for the unbaptized, those coming from other faith traditions and baptized Catholics who wish to complete their Sacraments of Initiation. Awakening Faith This Advent, as we prepare to strengthen our relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ, we remember our call to share our faith with one another. We remember the words of St. Peter who tells us to always be ready to give witness to the reason for our hope (1 Peter 3:15). Sharing our love for Jesus Christ and spreading the Good News is a necessary part of our life in Christ. We encourage each of you to invite those who may not be practicing their faith (or who may have never encountered Christ) to join us for the Holy Season of Christmas. For those who are returning home, our parish offers Awakening Faith. We lovingly invite all those who have fallen away, to come home, to find healing, answers and support. There is always a place for you here.
