The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a way to learn more about the Catholic faith. At Sacred Heart participants meet on a weekly basis to explore the teachings & traditons of the Catholic Church & all are welcome to listen, share & learn.
The RCIA helps unbaptized persons (Catechumens) prepare for, & reflect on, Baptism, Confirmation & the Eucharist & helps baptized persons (Candidates) from other Christian faiths who wish to prepare for Reception into full Communion in the Roman Catholic tradition.
At Sacred Heart, Padre Juan leads a vibrant RCIA team, providing the formation opportunities necessary to help the Catechumens & Candidates during their conversion & initiation process.
The RCIA meets on Wednesday evenings, beginning in September, & the joyful celebration of the Sacraments takes place at the Easter Vigil Mass.
