Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA)
Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults, or RCIA, is the process by which those seeking the Catholic faith are instructed in scripture, dogma, and tradition of our faith. It is through this process that individuals receive the initiation sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist.
At Blessed Sacrament, our RCIA program is all that and much more. It is the goal of our team, to provide those seeking our faith, a safe, non-judgmental environment to fully discuss their questions or issues with the Church; while providing them the knowledge to begin their spiritual journey. Once their spiritual journey begins, we continue to provide information and support that hopefully leads these individuals to a lifetime of growth in Holiness.
RCIA is open to all those seeking the Faith. In the past we have had whole families, couples, and individuals enrolled in RCIA. We have had individuals that are married to Catholics, which have been going to Mass for years, which decided to join the Church in full communion. We welcome all people.
Our class takes place each Thursday in the teacher’s lounge of the school. There is no cost or obligation to join. So if you know of anyone, family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, or maybe the guy next to you in Church that may benefit from RCIA, please invite them. There is no need for pre-registration, but, if there are additional questions please contact me, Brent Sowards at 727-743-3601.
