RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS (RCIA)

Deacon Jim Casapulla, (386) 445-2246, ext. 105

Any adult who wishes to become Catholic, or lacks the Sacrament of Eucharist or Confirmation, is invited to participate in the pre-Catechumenate, or period of inquiry. This is followed by a time of spiritual formation and reception into the church usually taking place at the Easter Vigil liturgy. Adults act as a team to welcome, pray, teach, witness, and share their faith with those who are seeking entrance into the church. This is carried out both in weekly sessions and in some liturgical celebrations. Some of these members will also serve as sponsors for those who are receiving the sacrament(s) of initiation.
