Adult Welcome into the Church

Through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) the Catholic Church incorporates new members into its community.  At St. Catherine of Siena Parish the RCIA process is on-going and multi-dimensional.  We believe that Christians are made, not born, and that conversion takes time.  Committing oneself to gospel values requires a change of heart and cannot be an educational program alone.

* So while doctrinal instruction is part of the process, our approach is more experiential and less instructional. Since the Holy Spirit has no timetable and cannot be tied to a schedule, our parish RCIA process is on-going.
