We are not sure exactly how RCIA will look this year — but there will be RCIA!  RCIA will begin on Monday evening, September 28th in McKivney Hall. We encourage registration online at this time so we can contact you as we begin to get definite guidelines. If you or anyone you know is interested in RCIA, here is a link for registration. You can read more about the RCIA program here or you can call the parish office 806.698.6400

 RCIA The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is the result of the directives from Vatican Council II, called by Saint Pope John XXIII, to help initiate adults into the Catholic Christian Community. Lessons and discussions from our Team of Twelve cover: the History of the Church, the Mass, the Eucharist, the Bible, the Church Fathers, Prayers, Saints, the Liturgical Calendar, Holy Days of the Church, the Vatican, Marriage, the Creeds, our Virgin Mary, and so much more.

Who Can Attend RCIA?

Anyone 18 years of age and over can attend RCIA. It is designed specifically for adults from other Christian congregations who are searching for more and who would like to listen to and study the history, beliefs and rites of our Catholic faith. We also welcome those who were Baptized Catholic but have not been fully initiated into the Catholic faith and desire to complete their Sacraments of the Holy Eucharist and/or Confirmation. Those who are unbaptized and are seeking an answer to God’s Call to ‘Come Home’ are especially encouraged and welcome to join us. You will be Baptized, received into the Church, receive Confirmation and your First Holy Communion, along with other RCIA members, at the Easter Vigil. ‘Cradle Catholics’ who have not attended adult formation classes for many years are always welcome to come ‘catch up’. Those who make the decision to become Catholic must attend RCIA in order to join the Church.

For those who have been praying for a loving, welcoming spiritual community; for those who have little or no faith background; for those wishing to find the answers to your many questions about Catholicism; for those needing a better understanding of Catholicism; we welcome you all with open arms to join us on Monday evenings on this very special Journey of Faith.
