Our community is excited to share with you more about our 2,000 year old Catholic faith through a process called the
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. RCIA is rooted in ancient Christian history, which is designed to prepare adults to enter the Church. It seeks, however, to do more than simply give interested persons information. Catholicism is a way of life, and becoming Catholic is a journey in faith that involves entering into relationship with a worldwide community of God’s people. RCIA is for any adult who is interested in becoming a Catholic (no matter one's religious background, if any), and for any baptized adult Catholics who have not received the Sacraments of Confirmation and/or First Eucharist. |
"The RCIA experience at Saint Clare was simply amazing. I had questions about Catholicism so I joined the class to learn more, and boy did I learn more! The classes had a great balance of history and academic knowledge coupled with deep theological thinking and inward reflection. It was a true heart and head changing experience. My two favorites were the weeks we spent dissecting the Mass and the retreat we did as a group delving into prayer and Eucharistic Adoration. What a great experience."
