RCIA is a journey of Faith. It is designed for persons interested in learning about the Catholic Church, who may make a choice of converting to Catholicisim. The journey begins with weekly sessions.

RCIA is a parish activity because each parishioner has a role to play. As Christians we have a special responsibility to invite interested family members, neighbors and friends to come and learn about the Catholic Faith. You may want to tell those you invite that you are willing to accompany them on their journey by attending our sessions with them. Let's share the gift of faith with others. 

St. John will soon begin a new journey in faith to share the richness of the Catholic Church and our parish family. We invite you to learn what the Church teaches, and be introduced to some of our parish members. RCIA is an opportunity for you and others that you may wish to invite to ask those perplexing and difficult quesions you may have about the Church. The program is open to baptized and unbaptized Christians from any denomination. St. John offers classes for adults, teens and children who need to prepare to receive the sacraments of initiation.

Is RCIA for Me? 

RCIA is for you if....
You have never been baptized and are seeking information about becoming Catholic.
You have been baptized in another faith and now desire to become Catholic.
You are Catholic but have never celebrated the sacraments of Eucharist and/or Confirmation.
You are engaged or married to a Catholic and would like to understand more about the Catholic faith.
