Our dedicated team of catechists and clergy guide you through the process, addressing questions, and providing a nurturing learning environment.
What to Expect
The RCIA program is divided into distinct stages designed to cater to your specific spiritual needs:
- Inquiry: This initial stage encourages open dialogue and invites individuals to explore the Catholic faith. Through informative sessions, you will gain a foundational understanding of Catholic beliefs, practices, and traditions.
- Catechumenate: As a catechumen, you will delve deeper into the teachings of the Church. This stage involves engaging in scripture study, participating in liturgical rites, and reflecting on the Word of God within community.
- Purification and Enlightenment: This period, leading up to Easter, focuses on the purification of hearts and minds as participants prepare for the sacraments. It involves intense spiritual reflection, prayer, and the celebration of important rituals such as the scrutinies.
- Initiation: The pinnacle of the RCIA journey, initiation takes place during the Easter Vigil Mass. Through the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Eucharist, candidates are welcomed into the Catholic Church, receiving the fullness of grace and embracing their new life in Christ.
- Mystagogy: After initiation, the Mystagogy stage provides ongoing support and formation for neophytes (newly initiated members). It allows individuals to deepen their faith, explore the mysteries of the Catholic Church, and integrate into the parish community.
