RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS (R.C.IA.)
Have you - or do you know someone who has - ever thought of becoming
Catholic?
Are you – or do you know someone who is – searching
for a “completeness” in the truth? Perhaps the R.C.I.A.
is the answer!
What is the R.C.I.A. (Rite of
Christian Initiation of Adults)? It is the process by which adults
are brought into full communion (participation) into the Catholic
Faith.
Who is it for?
1. Any adult
who was never baptized in any faith.
2. An adult Christian, baptized
in a Protestant faith, who wishes to convert to Catholicism.
3. An
adult Catholic, who is baptized, but has never received First Eucharist
and Confirmation.
How do I get started?
Call Sr.
Paula Marie, (203) 469-0764, or e-mail her at www.ourladyofpompeii@snet.net
for more information.
When do we begin/meet? Sessions
normally begin in the fall and meet weekly for 1 ½ -
2 hrs.
COME AND SEE!
