All are welcome here at Immaculate Conception! We praise God that the Holy Spirit is working in your life to bring you to the fullness of faith through the Catholic Church. For adults and even some teens who seek to follow Christ in the Catholic Church, we have Rites of Christian Initiation for Adults, or RCIA.
RCIA is for:
- Any person who is unbaptized and wishes to be a full member of the Church.
- Any person who may have been baptized in the Catholic Church, but has not recieved any other sacraments yet (First Communion, Confirmation, etc).
- Any person baptized in another Christian faith community or denomination who wishes to become Catholic
- Any person who has been baptized, recieved First Communion, but might not have been ready to recieve Confirmation.
- Any parishioner, or other person of good will, who just wants to learn more about the Catholic faith.
We will work with you to develop a plan of formation to help you understand and join into the life of the Church through her sacred liturgy, participation in the mystery of the Trinity and Christ's mission of salvation for the world.
RCIA participants who wish to recieve the Sacraments and become Catholic must also have a sponsor. We recommend that the sponsor be a practicing Catholic, knowlegdable of the Church's teachings, and who can serve as a role model during this time of preparation. If you do not know of anyone who can sponsor you, we will gladly ask a parishioner on your behalf.
We look forward to meeting you!
