RCIA
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (often abbreviated RCIA) is the process through which interested adults and older children are gradually introduced to the Roman Catholic faith and way of life.
RCIA is a communal process and involves a number of stages throughout the year and at the Easter Vigil they will become full members of the Roman Catholic Church.
Classes are held at our Catholic Education Center (home of Holy Cross School) in Webster from 7:00pm to 8:30pm on Thursday evenings. This year classes begin with an inquiry dinner to introduce everyone to the program and the details on Thursday, September 22nd, 2011 and Classes officially begin on Thursday, September 29, 2011.
A schedule of classes will be given to participants at the dinner. The Church prefers to call this a process and not a program, as each participant is on their own journey in exploring the Catholic faith. As each individuals journey moves along there is no obligation, they are intended to help a person decide whether they want to continue learning about the Faith. In the beginning participants are known as Inquirers. Once a participant is past the Inquiry stage and chooses to further they become candidates. More information on the process will be explained on the night of inquiry.
Please Call the Parish office to register for the dinner and classes or if you have any questions. Parish office number is 952-461-2403. - Liturgical Ministries
