Religious education is a life-long journey. Our goal is to help aid you in this life-giving message. You are your child's first teacher in Catechism. We believe there are different efforts you can do, as parents that truly make a difference. By attending Mass weekly, you show your child how important faith is in your life. Please share with your children how faith affects you in your work place, your social activities, and other events in your life. By discussing the weekly gospel with your child also helps them to connect church to their own lives .. For further information please contact the Parish Office (829-5433)

RCIA Would you like to learn more about the Catholic Church or considering becoming a member? Perhaps you would like to join our new RCIA group this year. RCIA, which stands for Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, is a process through which non-baptized men and women enter the Catholic Church. It is also for those baptized in a different faith tradition who wish to become Catholic, or baptized Catholic, but never confirmed. It includes several stages marked by study, prayer and rites at Mass. Participants in the RCIA are known as catechumens. They undergo a process of conversion as they study the Gospel, profess faith in Jesus and the Catholic Church, and receive the sacraments of baptism, confirmation and Holy Eucharist. The RCIA process follows the ancient practice of the Church and was restored by the Second Vatican Council as the normal way adults prepare for baptism. In 1974 the Rite for Christian Initiation for Adults was formally approved for use in the United States. If you have questions about RCIA or joining the Catholic Church please call our office (829-5433)
