Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a process through which the Church welcomes adults who:

• have never been baptized,
• were previously baptized in another Christian denomination,
• are Baptized Catholic, but need the Sacraments of Eucharist &/or Confirmation,
• wish to explore the Catholic faith more fully.

The process begins with an inquiry period when you may seek answers to your questions without fear of an expectation to commit further if you do not feel ready. If after this inquiry period you desire to move toward entrance into the Church as a fully-initiated Catholic Christian, you would enter into more formal periods of instruction and spiritual discernment.

Preparation culminates in reception of the Sacraments of Initiation at Easter Vigil Mass or the Parish Confirmation Mass, while basking in the glory of our Risen Lord and the welcoming arms of your new parish family.

Teens & Children

We offer a program of study and prayer, adapted from RCIA, to prepare teens and children to receive the Sacraments of Initiation. Before acceptance into the initiation program, children must have the full consent of a parent or guardian. Through this program the Church welcomes into the Catholic faith young people who:

• have never been baptized,
• were previously baptized in another Christian denomination, or
• are Baptized Catholic, but have not participated in Catholic Religious Education classes, nor completed Sacraments of First Reconciliation, First Communion and/or Confirmation.

"Do not be afraid" to take the next step.

As candidates for initiation into the Catholic Church, you will not walk alone! The community at Our Lady of Fatima will accompany you on your faith journey, support you with prayers, and celebrate with you during liturgical rites. Sponsors and godparents take on a special and lifelong responsibility, as they commit to you as an individual through instruction and support.

We invite you to take the next step on your faith journey and email Bonnie Corcoran today. Sessions have begun, but you may inquire and enter into the process at any time. We meet weekly on Wednesdays. Go to our Becoming Catholic Community page for upcoming events and resources.
