- For those who have been baptized (and may confirmed) in a Christian church that is not Catholic. These people would NOT
be re-baptized (or re-confirmed); they would, however, experience the rite of being recieved into fujll communiion with the
Catholic Church
We welcome all hose who are interested in learning about, or joining, our faith community. Attending our RCIA program does

It is our expectation that, as a result of particiaption in our RCIA program, you will come to a better understanding
of our faith community and what it has to offer you in your spiritual journey. This may, of may not, lead to your wanting
to join our community as a member of the Roman Catholic Church.
