Glorious St Paul,
Most zealous Apostle,
Martyr for the love of Christ,
Give us a deep faith,
A steadfast hope,
A burning love for our Lord
So that we can proclaim with you
It is no longer I who live, but Christ
who lives in me.
Help us to become apostles
Serving the Church with a pure heart
Witnesses to her truth and beauty
Amidst the darkness of our days.
With you we praise God our Father
To Him be the glory,
in the Church and in Christ
Now and for ever.
Amen.

RCIA Rite of Christian Initiation For Adults

Are you interested in learning more about the Catholic Faith?
or, Are you looking to complete your initiation into the Catholic Church?

Ongoing Formation Throughout the Year

For those looking into the Catholic Church: WEEKLY GATHERINGS are for those in
the initial stages of learning about the Catholic Faith and/or those who are thinking
about joining the Church. The format is informal and is based on questions that arise
each week. Friends and spouses are always welcome.
For those asking to join the Church or complete their initiation: CATECHUMENATE
The Catechumenate (cata-cume-net) consists of weekly gatherings for those who have
made the decision to join the Catholic faith, or for those who have been baptized Catholic and wish to complete their initiation through sacraments Eucharist and /or Confirmation.
During the Catechumenate, we attend Sunday Mass and meet on a weekly basis. Unbaptized candidates may spend 1-2 years in the Catechumenate group. The length of time in
the Catechumenate group for baptized candidates depends on the amount of Adult faith
formation they have had on their journey thus far. Each candidate will journey towards
full initiation in the Catholic Faith.
For those Celebrating their first year as a fully initiated Catholic: MYSTAGOGIA
The mystagogia (mista-go-gia) gatherings are for those who have recently joined the
Catholic faith or have completed their initiation. These gatherings offer newly initiated
Catholics an opportunity to share and celebrate their new life in the Church.

ALL ARE WELCOME!!
