    RITE Of Christian Initiation Of Adults

    Rites of Christian Initiation of Adults (this rite is adapted for children)  -  In 1971, in response to the call of the Second Vatican Council, the Church dramatically revised the process of becoming Catholic.  It promulgated what is called the Rites of Christian Initiation of Adults.  The RCIA, while new in a sense, was not really new.  It was an effort to restore the spirit of early Christianity by emphasizing conversion as a participation in the passion, death, and resurrection of Christ, as well as the role of the entire praying, witnessing, and teaching Body of Christ in giving support and shape to that journey.  The Rite of Christian Initiation is a series of rites, conducted in the context of learning about the faith and spiritual formation, through which a person is fully incorporated into the Body of Christ, the Church (Amy Welborn, Our Sunday Visitor).  


    If you or someone you know is interested in learning more about the Catholic faith please call Beth Dake at the Parish Office.  Rites of Initiation for Children is also offered.
