R.C.I.A.

Are you interested in becoming Catholic through Baptism and initiation into the Church? Have you been baptized in another faith and wish to join the Catholic Church or were baptized but never really went much further? Have you ever wondered what Catholics believe, why the believe it and why they do what they do?

To be Catholic is to see, celebrate and live in a particular way. If your heart is leading you to seek a deeper relationship with God, if you know someone who is curious about what Catholics believe, then R.C.I.A. is the place to start. If you are interested in learning more about R.C.I.A. please call Msgr. Bales. New classes begin in the fall.

R.C.I.A. is a 6 month process in which interested individuals can learn more about the Catholic faith. During this learning period you will spend time learning about God, the Bible, salvation in Christ, Baptism and the Sacraments, morality, the pope and the Church, the saints, Heaven, Hell and Purgatory and a whole lot more.

As the process moves along you will be invited to decide whether or not you are able to accept, in faith, all the various teachings and beliefs of our Church. If so, then we will help prepare you to become a Catholic at Easter time and receive the sacraments of Baptism, Holy Eucharist and Confirmation if you have not done so already

Please call Fr. Carl Beekman at (815) 857-2315.
