RCIA – Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

The Journey to Becoming Catholic
 The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a faith journey.  Through prayer, study, and fellowship adults are led to a deeper understanding and appreciation of the Catholic faith.  It is directed toward the possible decision to become a full member of the Catholic Community. 
 
Reasons to consider participating in RCIA:

• You were never baptized but seek to belong to a community of believers

• You are a baptized Christian and now wish to learn more about the Catholic Church

• You feel “at home” in a Catholic Church and would like to share in the Eucharist when at Mass

• You would like to explore, question, or seek to understand the Catholic Church better

If you or someone you know is interested in learning more about the Catholic Church, please contact Renee Jackson, Administrator of Religious Education email at
dre@stnicholas-sunman.org for more information.  Or you may fill out this online form and submit it to the parish office.
