The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (R.C.I.A.) is the process whereby adults enter the Catholic Church.

The initials R.C.I.A. stands for the "Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults."  The R.C.IA., a program of the Catholic Church, is oriented towards those who are searching and inquiring about the Catholic way of life. This program is oriented for adults, St. John’s accepts young adults from the age of 16, who are mature enough to participate in the R.C.I.A.

R.C.I.A classes begin in October and run through to the Easter Vigil, where you will make your sacraments, as long as all the requirements have been met.

At St. John's...
R.C.I.A. classes are held weekly over the course of several months. Those who attend are educated on the beliefs of the Catholic Church with plenty of opportunity to ask questions. 

R.C.I.A. is a great way to learn more about your Catholic faith.  All are welcome to join and learn, for full schedule of the years classes look into the current class schedule on the side bar. Please feel free to join us. All are welcome!
