RCIA
Interested in becoming Catholic?
The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults [RCIA] is the process for becoming a Catholic. It takes about 9-10 months during which a person can discern through prayer, study, discussion and faith sharing if the Catholic Church is where they want to be on their faith journey. Here at Holy Family Church we begin in September each year, meeting on Thursday evenings from 7-8:30pm. The people who so choose, will celebrate the Sacraments of Initiation [Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist] at the Easter Vigil in the spring. Family and friends are always welcome to come to any of our sessions.
