RCIA - RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS

This program provides the opportunity for catechumens (those not Baptised) or candidates (those Baptised but are not Catholic) to journey through the various stages towards deeper faith and possible reception into the Catholic Church community. The candidates and team members meet weekly in the Community Centre during the program which commences in October. This program is for:

(a)   People who are not Catholic but are interested in knowing more about the faith.

(b)  Catholics who may be non-active for whatever reason.

(c)   Catholic people interested in updating their understanding

    of faith.
