RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) – Becoming Catholic

RCIA Rites

RCIA Prayer Partner Slips

Will you pray this Lent for a person in the RCIA process?  There are 2 small baskets at the edges of the Baptismal Font in our Worship Space.  On the slips in these baskets there are the names of those who are journeying this year in the RCIA process.  Please choose a slip, and make it a part of your Lent and beyond 2020 to pray for one of these persons who will be celebrating sacraments at a time once we are safely past Covid-19.  Pray for all.

“No matter when you begin to consider Catholicism, rest assured that God is present from the first moment of your spiritual journey.  As you begin to feel a tugging at your heart or the call of ‘the still small voice within,’ God is there.  In your questions and desire to know God more, God is there.”
(from Our Sunday Visitor pamphlet, Are You Thinking About Becoming Catholic? By Lorene Hanley Duquin)

RCIA (the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) is a process that invites interested persons to consider the Catholic faith.  If you are:

·An adult already baptized in a Christian faith, but now thinking about becoming Catholic
·An adult seeking baptism
·Already baptized Catholic, but seeking preparation for the sacraments of Confirmation and/or Eucharist
then the RCIA process may be perfect for your faith journey.
