Been away from the Church, returned and want to know more about the Faith?
Been a part of this community for some time but never officially took the step to become Catholic?
Been Catholic all your life but never received all the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist)?

If you answered YES to any of these questions, RCIA Inquiry Meetings may be what you are looking for.
WHAT IS RCIA?
R.C.I.A. (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) is a process whereby those interested in learning about the Catholic faith come together weekly to learn about the scriptures and the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, while at the same time, discovering where God is present in their lives.
A team of people from St. Mary’s will guide the entire RCIA journey. Each member has a sponsor that accompanies them. (The church can provide a sponsor if desired.) The whole community prays for and with those who are preparing for initiation.
St. Mary’s offers an opportunity to come together in a small group to learn more about the Catholic faith through the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA). Sessions focus on the teachings and experience of Church and prepare individuals to celebrate the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist during the Easter season. You are welcome to participate in the process with your questions, your insights, and your faith story in a warm and accepting setting.
