RCIA - Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

The RCIA is a program designed to provide a study of Catholic beliefs and practices for those interested in joining the Catholic Church. Classes are held each Wednesday evening at 7:00 p.m. Classes begin in September and meet every week until Easter when participants are received into the Church. (Baptism for those not baptized; Confirmation and First Eucharist for everyone who joins the Catholic faith community.)

Baptism

Adults are baptized at the Easter Vigil as part of the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults. Infant and child baptisms are by arrangement, please contact the Parish Office for more information.

Infant baptisms are celebrated throughout the year at the various Sunday liturgies. Baptismal Preparation Classes are required of all first-time parents prior to their child’s Baptism. Baptisms are scheduled for the second Sunday of each month. Please call the Parish Office to register for these classes.

Confirmation

The two-year preparation period for the Sacrament of Confirmation is begun in the seventh grade. The children must complete this preparation period prior to being confirmed during the latter part of the eighth grade year. Retreats, special classes and service hours -- under the auspices of St. Francis Xavier School and the PSR Program -- are provided and required.

Matrimony

Engaged couples must arrange for their wedding with the priest at least six months in advance of their anticipated marriage date. Parish membership and attendance at an Engaged Encounter weekend are required. A six month preparation is required. Please contact the priest to begin the process. Weddings are normally not celebrated during Lent.
