RCIA
What is RCIA?
RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) is a seven
month process of Faith formation and the creation of its
foundation. It is a formal program of catechetical
instruction, prayer, and liturgies whereby adults are
formally accepted into the Church through the reception
of the Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation,
and First Holy Communion (the Sacrament of Penance
is received later since Baptism washes away all sin —
original sin and actual sin). During the course of the
RCIA program, the individual follows a spiritual journey
of steps accomplished with formal rites.
Registration forms for Religious Education classes are
available in the Rectory Office.
Every year you have to register your child.
All classes begin in September 2016.
Classes are available for PK-4 thru 8th Grade and
Confirmation Preparation for High School
Students.
Classes for PK4 thru 5th Grade are on
Wednesdays from 3:45–5:00 pm.
Classes for 6-8th and Confirmation Preparation of High
School students are on
Wednesdays from 7:00–8:30 pm.
Classes in Spanish are held on Sundays
11:00am– 12:00pm.
RCIA classes are held on Tuesday nights at 7:00pm.
Please visit our website for more information about the
Religious Education program, and to download the
Registration Form:

*Along with the registration form, we need a copy
of the child’s birth certificate.
Christ sent forth the Apostles as missionaries with the
command “Go therefore and make disciples of all the
nations, Baptizing them in the name of the Father and
the Son and the Holy Spirit”. (Mt. 28:19)
¿Qué es RICA?
RICA (Rito de Iniciación Cristiana para Adultos) es un
proceso de la formación de la fe y su fundamento que
dura siete meses. Es un programa formal de
catequesis, oración, y liturgias mediante el cual los
adultos son admitidos formalmente en la Iglesia a
través de la recepción de los sacramentos de
iniciación: Bautismo, Confirmación, y Primera
Comunión (el Sacramento de la Penitencia se recibe
más tarde ya que el sacramento de Bautismo quita
todo pecado -- el pecado original y el pecado actual).
Durante el transcurso del programa de RICA, el
individuo sigue un camino espiritual de "pasos"
destacados con ritos formales.
Cristo envío a los Apóstoles como misioneros con el
mandato "Id, y haced discípulos a todas las naciones,
bautizándolos en el nombre del Padre y del Hijo y del
Espíritu Santo" (Mt. 28:19)
