If you are seeking to learn more about the Catholic faith in general or need a Sacrament, our Come & See or RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation For Adults) programs are here to serve you. We seek to be the Holy Spirit's "yes" to His invitation to you to learn and discern your faith.

Open to all persons, regardless of religious background or philosophical persuasion, who genuinely seek, by God’s grace, to live their lives in the distinctive Catholic Christian faith.

Come & See

For unbaptized adults over the age of 18, or those who have been baptized in another Christian denomination, who would like to receive the Sacraments of Initiation in the Catholic Church. Program runs year-round as preparation for the RCIA program.

RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation For Adults)

This is a communal process of spiritual and educational formation for adults over the age of 18 who are seeking full communion in the Roman Catholic Church through a conversion of mind and heart. Program runs from fall to spring, culminating in receiving the Sacraments. 

RCIA includes several stages marked by study, prayer and rites at Mass. Participants in RCIA are known as catechumens as they undergo a process of conversion as they study the Gospel, profess faith in Jesus and the Catholic Church, and receive the sacraments of Baptism, Holy Eucharist and/or Confirmation. RCIA follows the ancient practice of the Church and was restored by the Second Vatican Council as the normal way adults prepare for Baptism.

The RCIA program provides Greeters and Ushers for ministry on a weekly basis at Sunday Mass. All RCIA participants are required to particpate to put their faith in action to serve Jesus and his Church, while meeting parishioners and making friends.
