Christian Formation: Exploring Catholicism and Becoming Catholic

< Main Christian Formation page >

EXPLORING BECOMING CATHOLIC - RCIA

Want to learn more about the Catholic faith? Are you interested in becoming Catholic? Are you an adult seeking First Communion and Confirmation?  Are you an adult seeking Baptism?

Every year adults are welcomed into the Catholic Church through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA). RCIA is a process for people interested in being fully initiated into the Catholic Church. Through prayer, worship, classes on Catholic basics, and Bible study, members of the RCIA seek the living God and grow in faith together with the Three Holy Women Catholic parish community and worldwide Catholic Church.  

You don't have to be sure you want to be Catholic when you join RCIA.  The RCIA is a process through which you can see if God is calling you here.  RCIA provides the time and space for you to learn, meet others on a similar journey,  listen to God's call for you, and live it out in the world.

RCIA is primarily for three groups of people: 1. Adults seeking to be baptized, 2. People who were baptized in another Christian denomination who want to become Catholic or would like to learn more about Catholicism, and 3. Adults who were baptized Catholic, but never received their first communion or confirmation.

The process begins September 14 this year, and runs through June. Our sessions are held on Tuesday evenings at the Old Saint Mary parish center.  Celebration of Initiation is held at the Easter Vigil.   We'd love to have you join us!

Do you have questions or want to sign up?  Contact Emily Kang, Director of Adult Formation and Evangelization at the parish office, 414-271-6577 or ekang@threeholywomen.org .
