RCIA

Catholic? Thinking about it? Know someone who is?…

RCIA [Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults] is the initiation process for adults who are interested in becoming Catholic. It is for those who have never been baptized or who were baptized in a non–Catholic faith and now wish to consider joining the Catholic Church.

The RCIA is a step-by-step process, with no pressure to commit to the Catholic faith, in which interested persons explore the beliefs and traditions of the Catholic Church over a period of several months or years, as needed.

After the preparation program, and if the person desires to be fully initiated into the Catholic faith, preparations are made so that the person receives the sacraments of baptism, first communion, and confirmation all during the Easter Vigil Mass. 

If you, a relative, friend, or co-worker is interested, please contact Roosevelt Morales at roosevelt@stjohnfisher.info for information on the RCIA Program.

View this beautiful video of the 2019 Easter Vigil, the culmination of the RCIA process for our candidates.

Welcome to the Church! May they become known to us and us to them.
