RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION for ADULTS (RCIA) 2009 - 2010
Adult Initiation is for all adults who are baptized in another faith and are interested in joining the Catholic Church (known as "candidates"), and adults who were baptized Catholic but never confirmed (known as "confirmandae"), adults who were never baptized (known as "catechumens"), and anyone else interested in finding out more about the Catholic Faith.
Again this year, we have a full house for RCIA!
We have 14 Candidates who were confirmed on Christ the King Sunday (November 22nd). Nine were Catholic adults preparing for Confirmation and five were nonCatholics who first made a Solemn Profession of Faith and then were Confirmed.
We have eight Catechumens who celebrated the Rite of Acceptance on Christ the King Sunday. These Catechumens will be anointed with the Oil of Catechumens during the Advent Vespers service on the 2nd Sunday of Advent (December 6th at 5:00 PM) and will receive all three Sacraments of Initiation at the Easter Vigil Mass.
We welcome all of these new members to our family!
