The Journey of Faith: Inquiry
 
Do you have questions about faith, religion, and the Catholic Church? Would you like to deepen and enrich your experience of Holy Mass and the Sacraments? Are you curious about the many forms of prayer which are part of our Catholic tradition? Perhaps you are considering Baptism in the Catholic Church, or were baptized in a Christian church of a different denomination. Or perhaps you are a baptized Catholic who has not yet received the Sacraments. If these questions ring a bell or strike a chord in you or someone you know, St. Patrick Parish is offering a special Inquiry event just for you.
 
Becoming Catholic: The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
 
Adults considering entering the Catholic Church follow a process known as RCIA (The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults.)  RCIA offers an opportunity to come together to learn more about the faith. There are four stages: Inquiry, Catechumenate, Purification/Enlightenment, and Mystagogy. Each participant is on their own unique faith journey. Together, in community,  we pray, share, and learn  about the Church as each progresses  through the stages of RCIA.
 
RCIA meets on Monday evenings in Healy Hall from
6:30-8 PM.
