Rites of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)

In bringing adults into the Catholic community, the RCIA takes the distinctive history and spiritual needs of each person into account, differentiating between the baptized and the unbaptized, the catechized and the uncatechized. The needs of mature, practicing Christians from other faith traditions are considered on an individual basis.  

Members of the Sacred Heart team share some of the joy that Jesus’ disciples must have felt as new converts were brought to Catholicism.  

Members of the RCIA Team are blessed and approved for service by the Pastor.
