RCIA – RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS:
Some people say
this process is the best kept secret in the Catholic
Church. Some of the reasons for this might be: you can
learn about all those things you were wondering about,
hear teachers give explanations and interact with them
when you have questions, learn about the different
prayers and their meaning, go through the parts of the
Mass in slow motion, find out what Catholics really
believe about Mary, and so many other topics. If you
would like to know more about the Catholic Faith, please
call and we will be happy to assist you. (781-2457)
