The RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) serves baptized adults and young adults who are seeking the Sacraments of First Holy Communion or Confirmation for any reason.

It is never too late to receive these sacraments.

We also serve adults who are exploring membership in the Catholic church.

We warmly welcome all!

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a spiritual and educational program designed to welcome adults into the Roman Catholic church.

RCIA is for individuals age 16 and older who are exploring membership in the Catholic Church and for baptized Christians who have not yet received the Sacraments of First Holy Communion and Confirmation.

The program includes instruction, spiritual formation, service opportunities, retreats, and prayer services. All materials are provided. We welcome new participants at any time.

Joined by proud sponsors, godparents and families, Ashley Maze, Kunle Folarin, Alissa and Emma Bristow, and Matthew Rockle Sr. were welcomed into full membership in the Catholic Church and St. John’s parish at the Easter Vigil Mass on April 16, 2017. May God continue to bless them and the entire RCIA team for making this journey of faith with them!

RCIA catechumens marked milestones in their faith journey at the Easter Vigil Mass in 2016 with the Sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation.
