~ RCIA~

The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults, is the process used by the Catholic Church to help those who are interested in becoming Catholic to explore the Catholic faith.  People who have been baptized in another faith are called candidates, while those who are not baptized are catechumens.  If the candidate has participated in his/her baptismal faith and has already developed a relationship with Christ that person is considered to be “churched.”  The baptized, churched candidate does not leave Mass after the readings, and does not have as intensive period of preparation as a catechumen might have.  In the 4-Parishes, the formal RCIA meetings usually begin in December or January.  If you or someone you know has been considering exploring what the teachings of the Catholic Church are, please call the RCIA director, Pam Konz at 483-2480.  There is no obligation to join the church at this point in the process, and participants are encouraged to ask any and all questions that they have about the Church.   You, as members of the parishes in our cluster, are the example that others look to in deciding whether they want to become a part of this church.  When you know your faith and you live it you are wonderful witnesses to the beautiful deposit of faith that we have.
