RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults- Non-Catholic Spouses encouraged to attend) This process is “designed for adults who, after hearing the mystery of Christ proclaimed, consciously and freely seek the living God and enter the way of faith and conversion as the Holy Spirit opens their hearts”.  The first stage of this process is referred to as the Precatechumenate or “inquiry” period which means that your questions will be answered before you make your final decision to freely become Catholic.  Classes will be held on Wednesday nights, beginning September 8th from 7pm-8:30pm in the Father Kasper room in the lower level of the Church.  These classes take place weekly until the end of the Easter season.
