RCIA

A word about RCIA:  RCIA is the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, a process for adults to come into the Catholic Church and /or prepare to receive the sacraments of Reconciliation (Penance), Confirmation, and Eucharist.

The RCIA is for:

those who were never baptized, or those baptized in another faith who wish to be part of the Catholic Church or those who were baptized Catholic but have not received the sacraments of Eucharist or Confirmation. 

Does this describe someone you know, someone who may be interested in making this journey of faith – a friend, neighbor, co-worker, relative, YOU?     Please encourage the person to e-mail sttadultfaith@gmail.com or contact the Rectory (617-325-1300) to start a conversation.  These last months have been challenging.  Maybe this is the time to explore the RCIA process. Meetings, via Zoom, will begin soon.
