RCIA Program
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

  1. RCIA is the process through which interested adults are gradually introduced to the Roman Catholic faith and way of life.
  2. Classes begin early Fall and conclude at Easter with the Sacraments of Initiation for those who join the church.
  3. The RCIA program is broken down into 4 categories; INQUIRY, CATECHUMENATE, LENT, AND MYSTAGOGY.
  4. Each category is examined through a series of handouts and lectures conducted by Catechists of Sacred Heart Church.
  5. Our lectures are held in an informal environment and encourages open, objective sharing and fellowship.

All inquiries are welcome. Contact the church office for more information and application.
