RCIA & Sacramental Preparation
-
Becoming CatholicEvery year at Easter the Church receives candidates (catechmens) as members of the Body of Christ. The catechumens reveive the three Sacraments of initiation: Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. After completing a period of instruction (usually 6 months - 1 year) the catechumens are allowed to receive the Sacraments typically beginning at the Easter celebration. This process is called the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (R.C.I.A.).
Groups meet separately in Spanish or English.
