RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) 

Do you know of anyone who wishes to be a Catholic? Do you have loved ones who have been away from the church and want to return and re-learn more about the Catholic faith? If you are planning to get married in the Catholic Church and are missing the Sacrament of Confirmation, we can help you complete this process in your life journey. Our RCIA meetings are on Thursdays from 6-8PM in the Parish Office. Please call the Parish Office, 253-833-5130.
