This is an opportunity to inquire and ask questions concerning the Catholic Faith as well as to discern your relationship with God and your experiences of church. We will also be presenting two weeks of Church History during these sessions.
If you are considering coming into full communion with the Church for Easter of 2008, it Is important that we hear from you by September 1, 2007. We will send a packet of information to you explaining the process and giving you the schedule for the year upon request. Inquiries after September 1 will be invited to our new session for Inquirers beginning January 2008. This group of inquirers should they desire, would be received into the Church Easter of 2008.
The RCIA Team looks forward to meeting with you. If you
have questions or would like for us to send information, please call Alice
