How to become Catholic
For people who are not baptized, the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) offers a process of welcoming and preparing adults who are:
- seeking Baptism in the Catholic Church;
- interested in becoming Catholic from another Christian tradition;
- needing to receive First Communion and Confirmation; or
- interested in learning more about the Catholic faith and traditions
This process of relationship-building and learning occurs through prayer, shared Scripture, reflection, study of the teachings of the Catholic Church and fellowship.

Email Isaac to get started today.
RCIA Sponsors

Sponsors are faith companions to someone who is considering becoming a member of the Catholic Church. Sponsors are key people in the initiation process. They share their lives of faith with those journeying to become one with us at the Eucharistic table. Sponsors are not experts or theologians, but they do share one characteristic: a willingness to share themselves and their faith so that others can enter fully in the daily life of our community.

Requirements: Be a confirmed, practicing Catholic in good standing and a participating member in the life and worship of the community; have a willingness to share your faith with someone exploring his/her faith life and relationship with Jesus Christ; need to be good listeners, flexible nurturing, prayerful, dependable, and communicative.
