COME GROW CLOSER TO JESUS

For non-Catholics interested about Catholicism—Catholics looking to grow in their faith—or anyone curious about Catholicism.

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him” (Rev. 3:20).

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) helps deepen one’s personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ through participation in His Body, the Church. RCIA is designed to convey the truth and beauty of the Catholic Faith to non-Catholics interested in joining the Church. It is also open to Catholics who would like to increase their understanding of the Faith, or anyone curious to know more about Catholic beliefs and practices. RCIA takes an experiential approach to learning that mixes classroom learning along with trips to devotional sites, charitable outreach, and participation in liturgical celebrations.
Our RCIA classes are held on Sunday mornings from September through May, from 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., at the Saint Alexis Education Center. Our first two months of classes will include the following topics . . .

• September 15 – The Nature of the Church
• September 22 – How Are We Saved?
• September 29 – Catholic Devotional Practices
• October 6 – Church Tour
• October 13 – Scripture, Tradition & Magisterium
• October 20 – How Do We Read the Bible?
• October 27 – Purgatory & Penance
