An rcia team Member!
OUR MISSION:
To provide an open, welcoming, and informative environment
for individuals seeking to learn more about Catholicism.
Through sharing our own experiences and the Church’s
teachings, to help them to grow into strong and well-rounded
Catholics.
WHY WE DO IT:
To serve God, to build
relationships with others, and to deepen our own faith. And
it’s a lot of fun, too!
WHEN WE DO IT:
The time commitment is just
two Wednesday evenings a month!* On the first
Wednesday of each month, we have a meeting with all RCIA
participants on a specific theme of Catholic Teaching, such
as the Mass, the Sacraments, Living as a Catholic, Social
Justice, etc. On the third Wednesday of the month, the RCIA
Team comes together for a Team meeting.

Sunday-only option!
