Interested in Becoming Catholic?
If you or someone you know is interested in becoming Catholic, please connect with Kevin Sullivan in the parish office! A Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) group is forming and will launch with the new school year. Weekly sessions will help prepare those in need to celebrate (any of) the Sacraments of Initiation – Baptism, First Eucharist, and Confirmation. Our group will help all grow as disciples through prayer, study, and community. Most on this journey will work towards celebrating Sacraments at the Easter Vigil in April 2023, but depending on your experience, a different timeline may be appropriate. Kevin and his team are looking forward to journeying with you.
