RCIA ­ The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults

Who are the People Who Join our Church Today?

Young people who are planning to marry in theCatholic church are a major part of the group thatenters this program. At this time in their lives, theseyoung couples wish to share their faith lives andvalues by establishing a religious base for thisrelationship.

Young parents who are expecting their first child,or parents who may have a child starting schooloften find this to be the right time to join a faithcommunity that will help them find God in theirlives and expand their moral values.

People who were baptized but never felt relatedto a religion. These people feel it is time to enterinto a personal relationship with God.

People who have not been baptized, for whateverreason feel that now is the time to begin a journeywith God. As they interact with their Catholic neigh-bors they realize there is something missing in theirlives that needs to be fulfilled. They are attractedto the Catholic Church and the family atmospherethat is offered.

People who have experienced grief and tragedy intheir lives are now seeking to understand it. So oftenwe hear people say, "I have a Catholic friend orneighbor who went through the same thing that I amgoing through and their faith seemed to sustain andcomfort them. I want to find a faith like that."

People from all backgrounds are seeking God in theirlives. We all look for answers for Life and Death questionsto questions about God and ourselves.

Whatever your reason we welcome you to join us inbecoming a Catholic through the RCIA program.

The Rite of Christian Initiation ofAdults is a programby which the Catholic Church welcomes new membersinto its communal life. The RCIA program is a livingexperience of the church, and NOT just a series ofclassesto teach you about Christianity. There are discussionsabout the facts of the faith. These sessions are only onepart of the experience of living the faith. This programallows you to learn and share with others who are onthe same journey-living the faith with members of theChurch. For more information about the RCIA program,please contact the rectory at (773) 646-4877.

Ask the PastorDo you have questions about the faith practice?Drop them in the mail slot at the rectory in anenvelope labeled "Ask the Pastor" and FatherDavid will publish an answer in the St. FlorianBulletin.
