R.C.I.A.
RCIA stands for the Rite of Christian Initiation of
Adults. It is an ongoing four-step process within parish life. It
is designed to welcome new members, those who have not yet been baptized
and those baptized in another faith, into the Catholic Church and
at the same time help lead every Catholic parishioner to deeper belief
and renewal of his or her Christian faith. In the process we invite,
welcome, explain and teach about the many rich symbols, sacraments
and traditions of the Catholic Church.
Our Christian faith begins at our baptism and sets
us on a journey toward God, which lasts a lifetime. Growing in spiritual
insight and maturity can be both challenging and reassuring. As we
grow in our faith, we sometimes need comforting stories of those who
have journeyed successfully before us. At the same time we look for
spiritual support and friendship from companions along the way. The
RCIA process both invites us and helps us feel welcome in a community
where acceptance, security and healing can be felt and celebrated
as nowhere else. Holy Trinity encourages and welcomes anyone interested
in becoming a catholic to contact the office for times and details
of the RCIA class schedule.
