We are meeting in person.
The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults, or RCIA, is a communal process for formal initiation of new members into the Catholic Church. Catechumens are those who are seeking full initiation into the Catholic Church through all of the Sacraments of Initiation – Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation. Candidates are people who have been baptized in a Christian tradition but are seeking initiation into the Catholic Church through Eucharist and Confirmation. RCIA is a process of study, exploration, faith-sharing, and faith formation with specific liturgical rites for seekers and inquirers. Contact Mary Ellen Kenney to join this program that meets Tuesday evenings from 6:30-8:30 p.m. in the Guardian Angels room. Call 651-437-4254 x227 or email Mary Ellen Kenney to get started!

Can I volunteer?
We have many volunteer positions in the RCIA. Members of the parish who attend church regularly, who wish to guide others in the Catholic way of life, who exemplify a life of faith, hope, and love, - we welcome you as Initiation Sponsors, Hospitality members and Catechists. Time commitments vary depending on the ministry you select. Mary Ellen can answer your questions at 651-437-4254 x227.
