Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (R.I.C.A.)

WELCOME IN CHRIST! 
The Parish of Saint Joseph invites all to a deeper love of Jesus and to a fullness of communion with the Church. The RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION FOR ADULTS (RCIA) is a process where adults and older children are welcomed into the Catholic Church. Some have never been Baptized, others never received Eucharist or Confirmation, and others arrive at our door after a long faith journey. 
Do you know someone who is thinking about becoming part of our Catholic community? Are you the non Catholic spouse of a parishioner who is wondering about full communion with the Church? Are you an adult Catholic who for whatever reason, "missed” one or more of the sacraments of initiation while growing up? Do you have children over 7 years of age who were never Baptized, or older children who “missed” sacraments? 
For the coming month RCIA sessions will be held on Tuesdays at 7 PM in the church hall. ​
The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (and its adapted form for children) welcomes all kinds of people into the Catholic family. 
Call the Parish Office at 267-8174 for more information.
